I have 2 virtual MS Server 2008R2 Servers running as Terminal Servers. Each server has about 20GB of RAM and 4 CPUs with about 25 users per server running on VMWare ESXI servers.<br />
<br />
The only problem is that the CPUs still seem to spike and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to eliminate the spikes<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

CPU Spiking on Virtual MS Server 2008R2 Running as Terminal Server

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
