How many virtual desktops can the VDM support?

Are there any recommendations or guidelines on how many virtual desktops the VDM can actively support? Is it possible to overload the VDM?

Any documentaiton on this?

Thanks!

We test with 1000 VDM connections to virtual desktops through a single VDM Connection Server. This is with Full security (SSL) turned on.

We also test with 5 VDM Connection Servers opeating as one (i.e. a standard and 4 replicas). This gives a total of 5000 virtual desktops with one VDM environment.

You should post questions about VDM on the Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM) specific forum. This VDI one is for more general VDI topics.

Thanks.

Mark.

Are these VDM servers real (physical) or virtual?

They can be either. Most testing is with virtual.
