Your XenApp 6 Environment

[Spammeh]

How many people use your environment?

Published Desktops?
Published Apps?

What have you got infrastructure wise to support your users?
How many servers, physical / virtual? Specs?

Just curious as I'm looking into Xenapp6 now

It's an impossible question to answer, you could have one app which consumes all the resources, vs another server that has 20 apps on which is hardly touched.

You need to conduct load testing. One of our farms is 10 nodes, each farly low spec of dual quad and 8GB of RAM. It's starving of RAM so thats going to be upgraded to 32gb per node.

Its running a mixture of desktops and apps. Some a very Java heavy and some very lightweight.

You're best of running some trials....

It wasn't a "help me to spec a xenapp environment", it was just a curious look at what people are running their environments on, what they are running and for how many users.

Just a friendly thread

We are currently running 7 Xenapp 6 virtual servers (2xCPU 24GB RAM), on HP blade infrastructure. We are averaging 35 - 38 desktops per server with a couple of published apps thrown in for good measure.

We definitely could not go above 40 desktop per server with our current set up with the applications that we are using.

Does the number of core's that a CPU has got affect the number of desktops you can run? So if i had 4 x 8 core CPU's in a system (same speed, same memory, say 128GB) compared to 4 x 4 Core CPU's would i get more desktops per server, or is it more dependant on memory?
