Suggested GEN10 Workload Profile for Citrix Virtual Apps

[NJK-Work]

Does anyone have a suggested workload profile to use for GEN10 servers hosting Citrix Virtual Apps (purely published application AKA XenApp) version 7.18.  The application hosted on these physical servers is a GIS application (from ESRI).

Six servers have around 20 users (Editors) on them at any one time.  Two servers host a less intensive version of the application and have around 45 users (Viewers) on them at any one time.

No special graphics cards are in the server - just whatever comes with a GEN10.

Each server has 96 GB of RAM and 2 24-Core 3.00 GHz Xeon Gold 6136 processors.

Currently the servers are set to the default of "General Power Effecient Computer".

Thanks

Choose: Virtualisation - Max Performance

Hi NK,

The current workload profile "General Power Effecient Computer" should not cause any issues.

You may change it to "Virtualization Max Performance" as the systems are configured with Virtual Apps.

Thank you.

Thank you.

My only question regarding "Virtualization Max Performance" is that I assumed it was for a Hyper-V or ESXi host, and not for virtualized application such as Citrix XenApp/Virtual Apps.

Thanks
