How many Zero Clients can run off one server? How many Zero Clients can run off one server?

n 6/8 virtual machines / Zero Clients can run off a single processor core*

n A normal server equipped with 4 cores will therefore be able to run up to 32 virtual machines*

n 512MB for a Windows XP VDI and 768MB for the Windows 7* one

*depends from the user utilization
