Virtual Desktop Performance Measurement

Measuring the performance of a virtual desktop is more difficult than measuring those same stats for a conventional desktop. This is largely because you're not dealing with a single, isolatable computer.  Measurements are all about metrics, the below link specified in detail on metrics matter to those running and managing VMs, include Disk Throughput, Back-end CPU, Transaction Rate, Responsiveness:

It is a good sharing for VDI performance measurement, layers of technology make it more complex to measure and classify VDI's health and user experience. That complexity has led to a whole ecosystem of VDI measurement products. Instead of leaving performance to chance, you can turn to robust tools from many vendors that measure performance, gather trending data and offer solutions to bandwidth-related problems.

Selecting the appropriate product is a matter of defining what should be measured, how those measurements should be reported and which actions should be taken to fix any problems.

Very interesting tools for measuring VDI performance.

A good article below for dealing with VDI bandwidth dilemma:

VDI solutions that scale out can find some relief with bandwidth-optimization technologies. The primary concept behind bandwidth optimization is to manage bandwidth and reduce unneeded traffic while creating a fully optimized "pipe" between locations. Several vendors do this by prioritizing traffic, reducing latency, eliminating TCP chatter and using a quality-of-service component to reserve certain bandwidth levels for specific applications. Those enhancements have a measurable effect on the performance of display protocols, VoIP and videoconferencing systems.
