Hi, we have a virtualized environment whereby a few VDI's were created to host Windows 7 and there is a storage server residing on another server hardware. The problem is when one user opens up Outlook and downloads his associated .pst file from the storage server (fairly large, around 500 MB), the rest of the users were almost unable to download theirs because the network bandwidth is virtually taken up by the first user. Is there a way for Outlook to perform some kind of network optimization so as not to create a congestion on the network (e.g. maybe through some kind of file compression)?
Or has anybody tried running the storage server on the same server where the rest of the VDI's reside? If yes then was there an improvement in this regard?
