We have about 100 potential users, about 10-20 concurrently working with about 100-200 sessions a day. Is it possible to estimate on the resources that are needed on the server?
X2Go supports published applications. You can blend in server-side
applications into a second menu tree. One session in published
applications mode is considered as one X2Go session. 10-20 X2Go
Session should be hostable on one big terminal server (8 cores, 16 GiB RAM). However, it also depends on the load each user produces.Any hints on my questions or a pointer to some docs or use cases
would be great! Thanks a lot in advance!We, for example, use X2Go in public schools and one X2Go server
handles a class room with ease. X2Go can be very powerful and scales
really well, but maybe others should report here, as well, as I am
pretty much biased...
We do have a (virtual) 10Gig, 6core machine for x2go with 6 users. Some x2go-agents become really big memory-wise. And all the browsers consume gobs of memory.
And I haven't yet determined if the latency of x2go, the latency of the home-dirs via nfs or the latency of the os-disk via nfs is the most significant factor that users are kind of dissatisfied:-(
Probably the added latency of the network-connections between disk-less clients and server and between the server and its disks. I hope reducing the later improves things a bit.
Anyway, x2go did actually help us solve some problems and proved to be a better and more stable environment than the vnc-based solution we had before.
Have fun,
Arnold
