XenDesktop / XenApp 7.7 and Windows 10 Scalability

In this article Daniel Feller discusses the results of some very detailed scalability test with XenDesktop / XenApp 7.7 and Windows 10.

They measured how the different factors impacted single server scalability:

• PVS vs MCS
• PVS Disk Cache vs RAM Cache
• Citrix Policies: Very High Definition vs High Server Scalability vs Optimized for WAN
• Windows 7 optimizations

Citrix XenServer 6.5 SP1

Simply utilizing the Citrix policy templates, we achieve 1/2 of that density gain. So the advice, definitely use the Citrix policy templates as your starting point.
