Planning Limitations
Ideally, the architectural design of the server roles would be based on the following information about each role:
Integration (where this role fits relative to other roles)
Capacity requirements
Performance characteristics
Unit sizing and volume expectations for data being sent and received by the role
As of this writing, detailed data on capacity, performance, and sizing for Virtual Machine Manager 2008 is not available.
Simulation of the load on the server environment from the expected number of VMM agents might be another way to approach this, but there are no such load simulators available.
Supported hardware configurations are published by the SCVMM product group at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scvmm/default.aspx ...
