if you are virtualizing Citrix you are going to get less people on per virtual machine. Count on about 30. Here is a link to some Citrix tips on VMware. http://virtrix.blogspot.com/2007/03/vmware-best-practices-for-deploying.html Anyone else have some tips?

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. _______________________________ Hector Minero NSWCDD K55 -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://link.mail2web.com/mail2web ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin NEW!
