Looking for some feedback from the field ....

 

I have a customer with a deployment of a couple dual-socket Xeon servers to
host 100 DTU's and they're looking to grow this environment to support an
additional 350. Instead of deploying more physical servers they'd like to
deploy SRSS on Solaris VM's (VMware ESX) and add these to the FOG. My
questions are:

1)      The customer, based on VMware's best practice guide, likes to deploy
only 1 vCPU and only add as necessary - this is because they're primarily a
Windows shop and for single threaded apps 1 vCPU works better than 2 vCPU. I
would argue that Solaris and SRSS are very threaded with each kiosk session
spawning new processes - this VM would benefit from *more* vCPU's.
Thoughts??

2)      The customer uses Xeon 5400-series CPU's - what practical numbers
are people using (or have achieved) for the number of concurrent SRSS user
per core?

 

Thanks,

Jason
