When using the VDE, can I get more RAM or CPU cores?

Error: I’ve run into hardware limitations in the VDE. What can be done about this?

Solution: This is a question that has a lot of “it depends” attached to it. If you are using a pool sponsored by an archive, then the hardware of that pool’s desktops is determined by the sponsor of that pool that is paying the machine license.

If you are using a user license, and have funding for additional costs associated with running a higher hardware spec desktop pool, please reach out to us at [email protected]. Due to the architecture of the VDE, all users are currently restricted to the same hardware specs as this is a limitation of Omnissa Horizon’s Instant Clone model. There is a significant ongoing maintenance burden to maintain different hardware configurations, so this is not an option we can offer.
