Virtual Server Sizing Calculator
Work out the processor cores, memory and storage a virtualisation host needs for its virtual machines.
4 is typical for office servers; use 1 or 2 for busy databases or recording servers.
Results
Virtual CPUs in total: 16
Physical processor cores: 5
Memory needed: 86 GB
Memory to fit: 96 GB
Storage: 0.96 TB
Cores and memory include the room to grow. Leave out hyper-threads when counting physical cores. For high availability, size each host to carry the load of the others if one fails.
How it works
Cores are the virtual CPUs x the room to grow, divided by how many virtual CPUs share a physical core. Memory is the machines x their memory plus the host itself, x the room to grow, rounded up to a common fitted size. Storage is the machines x their storage x the room to grow.
