Memory Requirements for Citrix XenApp and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services
(Microsoft Remote Desktop Services was formerly known as Microsoft Terminal Services.)
Each Citrix server or Remote Desktop Services server requires an appropriate amount of memory and disk space to run:
- The operating system
- Citrix XenApp/Remote Desktop Services
- The required number of ViewX sessions
- Any other applications.
Each ViewX session requires the same amount of RAM and hard disk space as a ViewX client:
- 4GB RAM
- 100GB Hard Disk Space.
For example, if you require 8 Citrix or Remote Desktop Services clients, the Citrix/Remote Desktop Services server needs:
- Sufficient RAM and hard disk space to run the operating system, Citrix/Remote Desktop Services, and any other programs
plus
- 512 MB RAM and 10 MB hard disk space for each client. As there are 8 clients, this means 4096 MB (4GB) RAM and 80 MB hard disk space.
For information on the minimum specifications for Citrix XenApp, Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, the server operating systems and any other applications, please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
