How many CPU cores for NC AIO VM?

ℹ️ Support
1

Hello there,

as mentioned in the title I am wondering how many CPU Cores should assigned to a NC VM.

I run MS SRV 2019 STD HyperV. The server has an EPIC CPU with 8 cores. Additionally the server contains 96 GB RAM.

I plan to assign 2 Cores and 16 GB ram to the NC VM (Debian). 15 Users are planned to use the NC instance.

I this enough or need the VM more horsepower regarding CPU and RAM.

Thx for your help and all a great weekend.

Regard Thomas

hi @tschmitz welcome to the community :handshake:

it’s hard to say how many resources you need. people run NC on Raspi… others on a high-end server… the range varies. It highly depends on the usage - some “high-demand” users could add more load than many “normal” users. sync, collab, conferencing add completely different metrics in terms of cpu and memory usage…

your system looks performant… I would rather recommend more cpu cores and no Windows… but it should work this way as well.

Expect more load while ramp up phase when users add content while the load decrease once data lives on the server.

Hallo,

Thanks for your advice.

I use HyperV mainly because I am familiar with it. plus we run 2 MS Servers in Vm‘s already.

So far I Never had any issues with Debian in HyperV 2019. 2016 was another matter. Here the Support for Linux based guests was far worse.

16 GB RAM are available for NC. Plus up to 3 cores on this machine.

I am thinking about to set up a 2. server and give 4 cores an 32 GB. That should solve the performance question.

Thanks again both of you.

Regards

Thomas
