[THIN] Re: Virtualizing Citrix

Depending on your configuration, your application, it's load, yes, it is 
possible.
 
I have had servers running as virtuals, with 40-50 users per virtual.

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.
