FAST Technology and %Savings used in conjunction with VMWare View
We are in the process of doing a POC with FAST technology. I was wondering what % of savings should I realize using this technology with my VMWare View Implementation. I want to show the cost savings in a CBA for justification. I was unable to find documentation showing a standard range of savings.
Thanks.

I might try something along these lines:
1) Spin up the maximum # of VMs that your servers can handle. Use something (View Planner, LoginVSI, batch files, whatever) to add some load to them.
2) Measure the total # of IOPs that the FAST Cache absorbed during the boot and run sequence.
3) Take those IOPs and figure out how many disks it would have taken to support that (consider around 180 IOPs for a 15K SAS drive).
4) Determine savings
