Support for greater than 64 virtual machines in x64 VS 2005 R2 SP1

  • Article

Another change that has come with Virtual Server 2005 Service Pack 1 is a change to the limit on the number of virtual machines that you can run on a single computer.  Previously Virtual Server has been limited to only be able to run 64 virtual machines at any given time, now if you are running on a 64 bit host operating system we allow you to run up to 512 virtual machines at the same time.

Obviously you need to have some fairly hefty hardware in order to do this, and the 64 virtual machine limit still remains for 32 bit host operating systems.
