VMware View 5.1 Reference Architecture on Netapp Storage (NFS)

I just saw this reference architecture from VMware and Netapp, and wanted to share it with you.

It gives excellent examples of the benefits of using VCAI (View Composer Array Integration) and the VSA (View Storage Accelerator).

Anyone deploying any significant number of VMware View virtural desktops should review this architecture.
