L-series and M-series Recommended Hardware


NComputing deployments vary based on the type of applications, usage and infrastructure. To determine the appropriate system configuration for deployment, NComputing recommends a pilot to measure concurrent usage, application load, and bandwidth load over a period of time. For more information see vSpace Guidelines for Scaling Deployments at www.ncomputing.com/support. A minimum recommended system to evaluate deployments is a dual core or better processor (or two virtual CPUs) with 2GB of memory and a single disk/spool (no RAID required).
