I currently support 300 concurrent users. For us, part of the appeal of
using VMs is server consolidation, as well as their portability, especially
in a DR scenario. We have an EMC SAN we are looking at using to store the
VMs and have a 2nd location for DR where we could copy the VMs to should our
primary site go down.

How many total users do you need to support concurrently?

Well the trial I am going to do will consist of 3 Virtual Servers using
ESX 3 residing on a DL380 G5 box with 12gb memory and 2 Dual-Core procs. I
publish a full desktop (MS Office Apps) and right now get 20-25 users on my
current DL380 G2's

Every role can run and run well. The issue is overall scale and
performance. You will always get more users running Windows/PS on the raw
hardware. However, if you are bottlenecked by RAM or the OS or certain
applications you can actually get more users on virtual machines. Like most
things, "it depends". However, with the newer dual core processors, higher
RAM density and VMWare ESX 3.x the situation is much better.
How many users and hardware servers are you considering??

Planning on building a new PS4 farm and would like to use VMWare for some
components - which server roles can run in an VM environment? Thanks!
