I have gotten 40-50 users per server on VM's with dual vCPU and 2-3 GIG memory. >>> steveg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 9/19/2007 10:59 AM >>> Not sure where the "not" would be, but I do agree that you could get 10 vm servers on that hardware with the only comment that the users counts per vm would be fairly low Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

PS on VM is cool for all the consolidation benefits and we have good results in smallish environments. We have found that overall users report noticeably overall performance and "snappiness" than on raw hardware especially when you ramp the user counts up into the hundreds and higher.

I have an ESX 3.0.2 Server with 16GB of RAM and 2 Quad Core CPU's with SAN Storage. We are going to run Vmware's Capacity Planner tool to get more information about the Citrix servers, but for now, how many normal Citrix Presentation Servers would you expect to be able to run as virtual machines on this hardware configuration? Just a guestimate would be fine for now...
