Be to set the min/max memory allocated to 2GB in the VM configuration. This
will prevent memory from being swapped to disk on the ESX side. The rest
are good recommendations. If they must have 2 vCPUs, partition it out by
reservations and/or CPU pinning.

Subject: [THIN] Citrix on VMware
While we're talking about design considerations, I want to bounce another
one off you guys.
The customer requires all presentation servers run on VMware. From what I
can gather the optimal Citrix VM looks something like this:
2GB Ram
1 vCPU
Do not use balloon memory driver.
Place page file on separate virtual disk from the system disk.
beyond that standard optimization tweaks as desired.
From your experience and observation is this optimal? I'm expecting to get
15-20 users per server.
Customer currently uses more RAM, dual vCPU's and balloon driver enabled.

CW
