We tested all configurations with Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 2016. Test results provide recommended user densities, as shown in the following table.
NOTE: Care should be taken when comparing the density numbers shown below with density numbers for other brokers and HCI environments, because the level of processor vulnerability mitigation implemented in test environments has a significant impact on density numbers.
