Please be aware that
Virtual machine performance can be impacted by
multiple variables. For networks with more than
500 users or 45Mbps of traffic, customers should use
a dedicated machine running VMware Server to
eliminate the overhead of multiple operating
systems.
On large networks, slow report generation or
real-time monitor performance can be improved by
increasing the resources available to the virtual
machine or moving the virtual machine to a dedicated
ESX server. In VMware Workstation or Fusion,
additional processors and memory can be added to the
virtual machine by selecting "edit virtual machine
settings" and increasing the relevant values.
