Hi Chris,
We get away with 1 CPU core per server in a VM to get good performance accessing DBFs on a different VM. More CPU cores may help by allowing the server to spread out on additional cores. We don't see a lot of CPU usage per VM. The bottle neck appears to be IO access to the DBFs. With that said, we have over 20 machines that allow a Remote Desktop like connection and 5 separate storage VMs for our 4000+ clients.
The fastest drives you can get (SSD's are a good choice) and a good backup solution.
HTH, Tracy

Hi All
Just a general question ...
If you was choosing a server which would run a vfp application using standard dbfs as fast as possible for around 30 users (connected via remote desktop). What server would you choose to get the best performance?
Is it CPU's , Hard Drive Configuration, Memory etc ... we can assume that there is sufficient memory for the remote desktop side of things.
Thanks
Chris.
