Hello, all. I have a question. It seems that we are looking into a virtualized desktop environment (Single Image) on our distributed side. I kind of laugh at this because that's where we came from with VM and an OS running under VM (Green Screen) long ago and now it's making full circle. In VM how do you determine the amount of hardware MIPS, Disk, Etc... for let's say 1000 users? Is there any kind of formula to go by? I know in the distributed environment, it will probably take a lot of disk space, and as far as performance I don't think it would be as snappy as a real VM system. I used to work at a shop where we had 2500 users and a few with APL, that's right APL. Anyone that's been around knows what APL programmers did for VM. And in that shop response time was good even under MVS/CICS under VM. Anyway any comments, suggestions, criticisms are welcome.
