Re: terminal server on VMware

I have been going through this dilemma myself.. I talked to some
experts from rapid app (they are the number one Citrix and Vmware
consulting firm) and they told me that vmware is not the way to go
right now. When the hypervisor support is built in to vmware then it
will be a great option. You best option right now would be to buy a
couple of Dual Core, AMD DL385 or DL585 boxes with 16gb of RAM Windows
2003 server 64-bit. There is a huge performance improvement with
64-bit and I was to my surprise able to get all 60 of our 32-bit apps
running on 64-bit without a problem. You will want to get a couple of
server and load balance them so that if you want to take one out of
service for maintenance you can. That is why I chose the 385s.


Here is another resource that gets into detail on this.
