Configuration and logging options can widely vary the actual disk usage. The base allocation is recommended at 250GB of disk storage space. Review of disc usage is recommended at regular intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to follow any best practices or recommendations provided by your Virtualization Software Provider, particularly maximum CPU utilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tuning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the wide range of environments, configuration options, features, logging, and other variables, the best way to tune and installation is to periodically review resource utilization. Disk space, memory, and CPU will all scale in a linear fashion, with 1000 sessions using roughly half of the resources used for 2000 sessions.
