A key differentiator for VDI-in-a-Box as a key solution to VDI is that it requires no shared storage. Storage However, if administrators want to enjoy the benefits of shared use, VDI-in-a-Box supports this on vSphere and Hyper-V platforms.
VDI-in-a-Box 5.2 introduced the image shared datastore for the vSphere platform. Using an image shared datastore to hold the golden image VDI-in-a-Box allows all servers in the grid to use the same image without transferring the image to the direct disposal of each server in the grid. This saves time, IOPS, and network traffic during any operation that would normally result in image transfer processes such as import new images, edit existing images, or update agent office after lay-network level.
Another great advantage of using shared storage to provide high availability for personal computers.
VDI-in-a-Box 5.4 extends support shared storage for Hyper-V 2012 and Hyper-V 2012 R2 by using Cluster Shared Volumes. To enable datastore shared image, Hyper-V will be configured to store virtual machines on the cluster shared volume. Then the advanced property "All servers use a single datastore shared image" should be checked to disable the distribution image.
Another advantage of shared storage with Hyper-V enables a packing density of increasingly limited RAM on the server through the use of Cluster Shared Cache volume.
