Max number of virtual desktops supported on a single VDM Connection Broker Server

To all,

I would like to know, how many virtual desktops can a single VDM Connection Broker Server manage, before another connection broker server needs to be added for load balancing?

Thanks.

I just asked this question to VMware not to long ago. Here was there answer as it relates to VDM 2.1

"There is no specific restriction on the max amt of guests

VDM can support.

VDM is mostly involved in channeling connections, so its

load is considerably less that VCMS. We test each VDM at 1000 concurrent

connections (doesn't mean the 1001th connection will fail) and you can have

multiple VDMs in tandem (we test upto 5) to scale higher."

Hope this helps

please consider awarding points for helpful/correct answers

The current release, VDM 2.1 (aka Monza) has been tested to 1500 SSL-tunnelled users, and more if using a direct, non-SSL connection.
