Yes, 10 currently. Good to know I should be able to scale to 120.

I have 3 hosts and I run 120 servers on them.... SAN switches? Kool-aid taste good?

Should be happening in the next weeks. We are 100% physical right now (10 servers). Getting 3 hosts, a SAN, 2 SAN switches, and a bunch of software (VMWare Essentials Plus). Over $200k for everything (P2V servers, upgrade AD to 2008, migrate to Exchange 2010, migrate to Citrix XenApp 6.5) Without more details on what you currently have, hard to say what you will need. But this should give you an idea of what we are about to go through. Also, if you search the archives here on specifically (4/3/2012, 4/16/2012, and 7/17/2012) I started a few threads voicing my concerns and looking for answers just like you.

I have read VMware is better than Citrix. What kind of hardware do I put all of this on? A Blade server with a SAN back end? I really have no opinions or experience on any of this. Please don't flame me to badly.
