Compute is typically not an area of failure in most VDI projects, but it is still important to understand the computing requirements of an organization before implementing a final design. Programs that can cause unforeseen failure from a compute perspective are as follows:
- Dragon Medical/Dragon NaturallySpeaking
- Defense Connect Online
- AutoCAD
- Eclipse IDE

However, for VDI solutions that leverage Windows 7 (64-bit), or more importantly Windows 8 (all 64-bit), two vCPUs may be necessary to ensure a favorable end user experience.
For the most accurate calculation of CPU requirements, a proper assessment ...
