The number of virtual machines on a VMware ESXi host

Answered 12 months ago (May 06, 2023) by Eldernode Staff

The number of virtual machines that can run on a single VMware ESXi host depends on several factors, including the hardware resources available, the workload of each virtual machine, and the performance requirements of the applications running on the virtual machines. As a general rule of thumb, it is recommended to run no more than 10-15 virtual machines per physical CPU core and to ensure that there is enough memory and storage capacity available to support all the virtual machines.
