Sizing Windows Server Settings to Support Your Deployment
To support a large deployment of remote desktops, you can configure the Windows Server computers on
which you install View Connection Server. On each computer, you can size the Windows page-file.
On Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2 computers, the ephemeral ports, TCB hash table,
and Java Virtual Machine settings are sized by default. These adjustments ensure that the computers have
adequate resources to run correctly with the expected user load.
Sizing Memory for View Connection Server
On a View Connection Server computer, 10GB of memory is required for deployments of 50 or more remote
desktops. A Windows Server computer with at least 10GB of memory is automatically configured to
support approximately 2,000 concurrent tunnel sessions, the maximum number that View Connection
Server can support.
Configure less than 10GB of memory for small, proof-of-concept deployments only. With the required
minimum of 4GB of memory, a configuration can support approximately 500 concurrent tunnel sessions,
which is more than adequate to support small, proof-of-concept deployments.
However, because your deployment might grow larger as more users are added to the environment,
VMware recommends that you always configure at least 10GB of memory. Make an exception only when
you know that the environment will not grow, and memory is not available.
If you install View Connection Server with less than 10GB of memory, View provides memory
recommendations by generating warning messages after the installation is complete. An event triggered
every 12 hours states that the View Connection Server instance is configured with a small amount of
physical memory.
If you increase a computer's memory to 10GB to support a larger deployment, restart View Connection
Server to ensure that the JVM heap size is automatically increased to the recommended value. You do not
have to reinstall View Connection Server.
IMPORTANT Do not change the JVM heap size on 64-bit Windows Server computers. Changing this value
might make View Connection Server behavior unstable. On 64-bit computers, the View Connection Server
service sets the JVM heap size to accord with the physical memory.
For additional hardware and memory requirements for View Connection Server, see “Hardware
Requirements for View Connection Server,” on page 8.
For hardware and memory recommendations for using View Connection Server in a large deployment, see
"View Connection Server Maximums and Virtual Machine Configuration" in View Architecture Planning.
Configure the System Page-File Settings
You can optimize the virtual memory on the Windows Server computers on which your View Connection
Server instances are installed by changing the system page-file settings.
When Windows Server is installed, Windows calculates an initial and maximum page-file size based on the
physical memory installed on the computer. These default settings remain fixed even after you restart the
computer.
If the Windows Server computer is a virtual machine, you can change the memory size through vCenter
Server. However, if Windows uses the default setting, the system page-file size does not adjust to the new
memory size.
