Host Setup
System Requirements
While the vSpace Server software itself can support up to 45 M300 client connections, the host
specifications required to provide an optimal user experience will vary by the number of users
connecting to a given host and the average usage habits of those users. The tables below provide an
estimated starting point from which administrators can test and, if needed, adjust the hardware
specifications of their chosen host systems. NComputing recommends you always test your
environment in advance of deployment to ensure it meets your expectations.

The number of users that your installation will support depends upon the host's configuration and your end-users’
performance expectations. Performance results are highly dependent upon the individual host hardware, memory, applications
being used, OS and network conditions within any LAN. For deployments making heavy use of multimedia playback, keep in
mind that system resource usage will vary depending on the specific media player being used. Host requirements will vary,
please test your multi-user environment before deployment.

32-bit operating systems are not supported with this number of users.
