Hi Guys

I"m new to VDi and Horizon 7, we have a server with the following specs that we want to use to deploy Horizon 7 Instant Clones

Dell PowerEdge R730 Server – 2U Rack Mount

• 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 2.1GHz with 266GB RAM,

8 x 600GB 15K RPM SAS 12Gbps 2.5in Hotplug Hard Drive

Is this sufficient, comments/advise is highly appreciated

You are good to go!!!

Make sure to distribute all the server resources to the pools according to your hardware specifications for example:

Parent Image:

CPU How many? CPU

RAM How many? GB

HDD/SSD How much space? GB

VIDEO How much RAM? MB

-------------

Pool:

MIN ? VMs

MAX ? VMs

SPARE ? VMs

PROVISIONED ? VMs

Carefully follow VMware Horizon 7 all relevant best practice & VMware Hardware Requirements.

Hi Rahul

Any idea of the licensing cost, roughly how much would it cost for 100, 200, 300 , or 400 concurrent users, we are interested in using instant clones desktops in our student labs. We want to start with 2 small campuses first after our testing and grow from there
