Virtual Machine Memory

Virtual Machine Memory

Recommended Virtual Machine Maximum memory is 256GB.

Virtual Machine Memory

To ensure high availability, scalability, and efficient resource management within the ITS Private Cloud environment.

Limiting VM memory to 256GB promotes:

  • High Availability (HA): Ensures VMs can be restarted on alternate hosts during failure events.

  • Scalability: Prevents resource monopolization, allowing equitable usage across multiple workloads.

  • Operational Efficiency: Improves capacity planning and reduces resource fragmentation.

Exceptions

Requests for VM configurations exceeding this limit must include a justification and are subject to capacity review and approval by the ITS Private Cloud team.
