Guest Image RAM and Disk Space Planning

Multiple guest sessions can be accessed from a client and run on the VERDE Server. Knowing the different types of sessions will help determine the VERDE Server requirements.

Supported Guest Virtual Desktop Sessions

The guest or virtual desktop itself is also called the VDI session. SPICE is the remote-display system used to edit Gold Images and is available for all supported guest sessions.

When creating a guest image, the following can be defined:

• On the Session Settings screen, set the number of GB for the user files virtual disk image (in Windows, the D: volume, in Linux, the /home directory).
• On the Gold Images screen, set the amount of virtual RAM used by the guest image and the # of GB used by the operating system virtual disk image (in Windows, the C: volume; in Linux, /).
• The amount of virtual RAM used by the guest image and the # of GB used by the operating system virtual disk image (in Windows, the C: volume; in Linux, /).
• For Windows VDI sessions: The user’s profile settings are stored on volume D: and user documents are stored on the shared folder by default. This does not count toward the 2 GB allocated space.
