    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Jooji,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2000 concurrent users is easy to fit into 2 racks, you can probably squeeze it in one, but it'll be full. I'd suggest against blades (my preference) but if that's something you're comfortable with, all the power to you. I would suggest against a hyperconverged solution for VDI.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In Win10 VDI - you absolutely want GPU everywhere. Win10 runs boatloads better with a hardware graphics processor. But keep in mind - you need fast CPU's if you're going to use GPU. CPU becomes the bottleneck for VDI VM performance when you add GPU.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you have any questions, please ask away.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;o/&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I dont have full requirements yet but I do have a constraint of physical rack space for a customer where ive got to fit in 2000 concurrent users into if i can 1 rack, 2 max. This is going to be a mix of application delivery and virtual desktops (instant clones). I was thinking of putting a blade chassis in for task/knowledgeworkers who don't require graphics acceleration, then some beefy 2U servers with 2 28 core CPUs and NVIDIA M10's the rest of the users.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was thinking of 2 clusters for blades / 2U &amp;amp; separate pools for basic VD's and GPU VD's, is this viable? Any recommendations or risks would be helpful!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
