This interactive sizing calculator refers to ControlUp monitors only. The sizing will be set according to the values you set.
The scalability limit of a single Monitor node is 320,000 concurrent processes. The actual limit of VDI/RDS machines per Monitor node depends on the avg. number of concurrent processes per machine.
A properly sized monitor node can handle dozens of incident triggers per minute.
Based on our benchmark, the following values are set as default values and should be adjusted based on your environment.
RDS/XA Server – 100 processes.
RDS Session – 20 processes.
VDI Machine – 200 processes.

The request for the average number of processes for an idle RDS server, referrs to an RDS server without user sessions.
When connecting a hypervisor or a EUC site into ControlUp - it's best practice to use dedicated machines for the data collectors role. You can read more about it here.
