    Virtualized Desktop Server

    What is the specification you plan to give to each Virtual Desktop instance? RAM is relatively cheap I would recommend leaving at least 2GB assigned to the Hypervisor and avoid over committing what is assigned to the Guest OS's. Are you running this server on premise or planning on collocating...

    this is really where we are looking for advice. The only example that I can really find was a percentage paid on the profit generated over a set threshold.

    pfsence firewall
