I have gotten 40-50 users per server on VM's with dual vCPU and 2-3 GIG
memory.

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

Should there be a 'not' in that last sentence..or not?

I would agree with the 10-ish number, but the per user count on each
vm
server would on the lower side in this scenario. 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.

Rough estimate, we are using similar hardware....@ 10 +/-.

I know it is almost impossible to say without knowing more
information,
but
does anybody have any good "rule of thumb" numbers to expect for how
many
Citrix servers can be consolidated onto an ESX 3.x server?

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...

Thanks guys!
