Virtual desktop hardware requirements
Before we get on with the build process, we need to look at the specifications of the virtual desktop machine from a hardware perspective and what we need to configure it.
The following screenshot lists the requirements for you:
You should be able to work out the requirements for your environment by using your assessment data captured at the start of the project. The one thing to bear in mind is that you can quite easily change the configuration should you need to.
Note
Another important factor when configuring the size of the hardware is not to fall into the trap of over-sizing your virtual desktop machines. For example, if you only need one CPU, then only give the virtual desktop machine one CPU. As previously mentioned, this is why your assessment data is critical.
The virtual desktop machine should be configured using the guidelines for the hardware specifications outlined in the previous table.
