6.0 Test Setup and Configurations
This section discusses the various test configurations. We started with the single server scalability to determine
the maximum amount of desktops that can be loaded on a given server without making the user response times
go more than the criteria for success along with other success criteria parameters. We then scaled the
environment to two chassis and then four chassis.
