As part of some investigation into virtualizing Citrix servers I decided to evaluate the use of Windows 2003 32 bit Standard servers running as virtual machines on VMware ESX. The reasoning behind the use of virtual machines is to try and issue more Citrix sessions to a single server therefore reducing the amount of hardware, data center space, power consumption and heat generated by the multiple physical servers.

Moving to VMware should allow for multiple machines to run on a physical server, allowing for a higher user load by adding more smaller loaded servers to the physical server.
