How many total users do you need to support concurrently?

Well the trial I am going to do will consist of 3 Virtual Servers using ESX
3 residing on a DL380 G5 box with 12gb memory and 2 Dual-Core procs.  I
publish a full desktop (MS Office Apps) and right now get 20-25 users on my
current DL380 G2's

Every role can run and run well. The issue is overall scale and performance.
You will always get more users running Windows/PS on the raw hardware.
However, if you are bottlenecked by RAM or the OS or certain applications
you can actually get more users on virtual machines. Like most things, "it
depends". However, with the newer dual core processors, higher RAM density
and VMWare ESX 3.x the situation is much better.

 

How many users and hardware servers are you considering??

Planning on building a new PS4 farm and would like to use VMWare for some
components - which server roles can run in an VM environment?  Thanks!
