Login VSI has released version 4.1 of its vendor independent Login Virtual Session Indexer (VSI) benchmarking utility. Version 4.1 is the follow up of version 4.0 which was released in May 2013.
Login VSI measures the performance and scalability of Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI) and Server Based Computing (SBC) environments by simulating unique user workloads. Eventually developed as a free tool by Login Consultants to benchmark systems for use with Project Virtual Reality Check, Login VSI evolved into a company of its own and has become a commonly used benchmarking tool used by different vendors nowadays. Login VSI is provided for free as an Express Edition, there is also a Pro edition which is supported by Login VSI.
Version 4.1 provides the following new functionality:
- New "Office Worker" workload, allowing organizations to match and simulate their virtual desktop usage in order to predict and validate the performance of constantly changing production environments
- Ability to import data in CSV format into the Login VSI Analyzer
- VSImax measurement and calculation methodology is no longer specifically dependent on Microsoft Office Word
