Guys,
Im in the middle of designing a Citrix farm for a client and it seems
the VMWare subject has been thrashed around here quite a bit. But one
thing I can find is the number is VMware sessions that should be run per
server before serious performance issues are hit.
The farm will be running Linux then Vmware on that which will be
launching multiple VMWare Win2k3 server sessions with MFXPa/e.
If they will only be doing the basic work like MS Office and other
office applications, typically from experience how many VMware sessions
would people expect to get per server before they notices a performance
hit?
The server kit will be DL360G3's with 4GB RAM and mirrored disks.
I was expecting to start with each server running 2 VMware sessions each
and see how that goes.
There will most likely be vertical application servers as well.
