What is the best way to determine virtual desktop infrastructure host server sizing?
This is a very difficult question to answer without a good baseline assessment to draw upon. But in general, you can estimate approximately five to seven virtual desktops per CPU core, assuming a relatively modern CPU such as the Intel Xeon 3GHz quad-core processor. So a single server with dual quad-core processors could accommodate a workload of approximately 40 to 50 virtual desktops, assuming adequate memory exists on the host.
