I faced one major problem which is factoring the vCPU power in MHz for all 5872 VMs per server basis. I am considering &lt;strong&gt;UCS B230 M2 @ E7 2870 UCS Blade &lt;/strong&gt;as ESX Physical Node which has the following configuration. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Processor Speed&amp;nbsp;in GHz&amp;nbsp;= 2.4&amp;nbsp;(Dual Core Xeon)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No of CPUs = 2&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cores per CPU = 10&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Physical RAM = 128GB (Expandeble to 512 GB)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kindly help me in getting the calculation for following things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Per vCPU power in MHz&amp;nbsp;for Light, Medium &amp;amp; Heavy users for Windows 7 VMs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;VMs Per Core.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No of&amp;nbsp;VMs per ESX Node.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kindly help me with the calculations rather than assuming some figures&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;
