XenServer beats competitive hypervisors in VMs per core
Alessandro Perilli noted our recent change to the number of supported virtual machines per core for Intel Nehalem (Xeon 5500 series) CPUs. In case you're wondering, we support up to 16 VMs per core on XenServer today, for XenDesktop workloads.

We knew, as did our customers and partners from their own experience running XenDesktop workloads on XenServer, that the real number of desktop VMs possible on a single host was considerably higher. The results ...
