Query: DL380 G10, will adding more cores help with RDS running out of CPU resources? - Prolaint server - DL380 G10

[Wilf072]

Hi All,

Have a physial DL380 G10 running as a RDS, No issue with memory or disks but CPU runs out of resources or gets close to the max with round 30 to 40 users. Have 2 x CPU's with 10 cores each. Just wondering if we upgrade to new CPU's with 20 cores and a little more L3 cache will this make much difference?

Hi,

I hope you are referring to Remote Desktop Services.

Have you used the sizing guide?, its good idea to first check if you upgraded the processor will it really help.
