Concurrent user connections to vCenter

[gooner13]

hi,

we have around 50 virtual machines on our infrastructure with 5 ESXi 5.5. hosts. They are all Windows 7 machines and users access them via vCenter console (they cannot use RDP sessions for different reasons). Now I would like to know how is this handled by the vCenter? Can this lead to some sort of overload on vCenter server or can it lead to some other performance issues? There are about 15 to 20 concurrent connections but about 50 in total. I couldn't find any documentation on how many connections could cause the vCenter overload and any meaningful explanation would be appreciated.

thanks

Hi,

this is not really the best practice, but you don't hit the limit yet.

Take a look at the configuration maximums: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere5/r55/vsphere-55-configuration-maximums.pdf

It says 100 Concurrent vSphere Client connections and 180 Concurrent vSphere Web Client connections

exactly what I was looking for! I know its not the best practice but we have no choice - it is a specific environment. Thank you again Tim!
