Techopedia Explains VDI Boot Storm
A VDI boot storm is a straightforward problem. Virtual desktop
workloads depend on the working hours of employees. In a typical office environment, workers are
logged in between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each workday. The overall usage is not more than
the server can handle. However, a boot storm occurs when a lot of virtual desktops
are booted up during short window of time, say between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. This overwhelms
the system storage and users end up facing the inability to access the system.
