There are no relation between electric power and number of running VM.<br />
You only need enaugh CPU and RAM. Then is obvius that a server with 4 cpu use more power than a single-cpu.<br />

So if a server running Xeon CPU (E5520 4 CORE 2.26GHZ 8MB CACHE), 14GB DDR3 ECC RAM with 8-10 XP Pro VMs, should not have any issues. <br />
<br />
Server is IBM (brand new) X3400 M2 with 670W power supply. <br />
<br />
Thanks.

Hi<br />
I installed Citrix Xenserver on one of my IBM servers.I am not sure about the Power Requirement of Xenserver. I tried to find out some information over the net but didnt get any information regareding Xenserver power requirement. <br />
I want to run 8 VMs on that server and the power supply of that server is 400watts. Would that be enough?<br />
thanks

Xenserver Power Requirement

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
