This article provides sizing limits and recommendations for a VMware App Volumes 2.x

For App Volumes 4, please see VMware Configuration Maximums.

For Horizon limits see VMware Horizon sizing limits and recommendations, see KB 2150348

App Volumes Manager (AVM) Server Sizing

If you have a large number of concurrent logins (such as many users simultaneously logging in at the beginning of a shift) will put a greater demand on
the App Volumes Manager servers. When deciding how to size and scale your environment consider the number of concurrent logins per second required.

Each AVM has been tested for 2,000 concurrent logins at a one-per-second login rate.

Concurrent Logins

<=2,000

2,000 to 5,000

5,000 to 7,500

>7,500

AVMs per POD

* Delay writable creation for group/OU members until they log in option requires additional time to create volumes.  When using this option, the user’s first login is tested at a rate of 1 login per 8 seconds.

vSphere Sizing

Virtual Machine density will affect the performance of an App Volumes implementation. VMware performance testing demonstrates optimal performance using the following maximum VM density.

Virtual Machines per ESX host

110 tested*

Virtual Machine guest configuration

2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM

Virtual Machines per vCenter

2,000 tested

Storage Limits

AppStacks per VM

5 tested*

No more than 8-10 recommended***

No. of user Mounts per AppStack(VMDK)

1000 per VMFS datastore tested**

2000 with vSAN tested

No.of UWS per Datastore

1000 per VMFS datastore tested**

2000 with vSAN tested

* = VMC testing Hardware: Dual Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4(18 core 2.3GHz, 2.7GHz All Core Turbo).
** = Storage group on VMFS is used to achieve a larger scale.
*** = When using the App Volumes 2.x agent, the number of AppStacks directly impacts login and application performance. Results per environment may vary as hardware/software configuration and application complexity will affect system performance and limits. In order to reduce the number of AppStacks VMware recommends creating logical groups of applications into fewer AppStacks to achieve better performance.  Alternatively, App Volumes 4 provides better support for packaging applications individually.
