Scaling vCAC

[DavidArmstrongN]

How does vCAC perform out in the real world?  I have the skeleton framework of a distributed deployment configured in a development environment right now.  I have been able to successfully clone a VM.

When I move this into production, I am going to want to clone out 500 copies of the same VM. 

Where is the application going to bottleneck?  I think that I remember reading something in the documentation that each DEM server can only handle 2 simultaneous provisioning tasks?

What are some of the challenges that you folks have faced running vCAC at scale / handling large jobs?

II'll let others comment on their experiences of scale, I know at least one of the guys here has a good sized environment.

In terms of official numbers, each DEM Worker supports 15 concurrent operations (you can deploy multiple DEMs) and by default they are configured to only push 2 vCenter provisioning actions at a time. That can be changed though.
