This section describes the recommended user profile configurations for the defined FSI personas, and the recommended CPU sizing guidelines based on the different personas.
Persona configurations
The following table shows the recommended configurations for the FSI user profiles:
VxRail V570F | Front Office/Branch Worker | Knowledge Worker | Developer | Trader |
VMs per host | 10 (RDSH) | 150 | 48 | 48 |
vCPUs | 4 | 2 | 4 | 4 |
Memory | 32 GB | 4 GB | 16 GB | 32 GB |
vGPU profile | None | None | None | T4-2Q |
Operating system storage | 120 GB | 60 GB | 120 GB | 512 GB |
User storage | 100 GB | 100 GB | 100 GB | 100 GB |
CPU sizing
User density for architectures with 6248 Cascade Lake processors include the following considerations:
- Front Office/Branch Workers—5.2 users per core. For example, 210 front office/branch users with dual twenty-core processors.
- Knowledge Workers—3.75 users per core. For example, 150 knowledge users with dual twenty-core processors.
- Developers—1.2 users per core. For example, 48 developer users with dual twenty-core processors.
- Traders—1.2 users per core with NVIDIA T4 GPUs using the 2Q profile. For example, 48 trader users with dual twenty-core processors and 6 T4 GPUs per host. Note: The density of Trader vGPU VMs using a T4-2Q vGPU profile is 8 VMs per T4 card. The 48-user density per host shown here is based on using the maximum of six T4 cards per host.
