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.
