Hi all, 
I see all these messages going back and forth about virtualization, but
not much information on how Citrix/TS behaves in a virtualized
environment.
A tech./sales person from Dell came yesterday and told me that I could
probably replace 7 of my PowerEdge 2850 with one beefed up PowerEdge
R900 and virtualize the 7 Citrix servers.   I find that kind of hard to
believe.
Each of my 2850's can handle about 30 to 40 users concurrently.   I just
don't think that an R900 could handle 200 + users with virtual Citrix
servers.

Is anyone out there using VMWare to virtualize Citrix servers in a
production environment?  
What kind of hardware?  
How many virtual servers per physical server?  
How many users?


I would greatly appreciate your advice as I am new to VMWare.
