| The VirtualBox A standard (minimum) VDI/VirtualBox setup for a production environment requires three VDI hosts, one VirtualBox host, and one storage host. The Sun VDI 3.0 Software is installed on the VDI hosts, and Sun VirtualBox for VDI is installed on the VirtualBox host. The storage host is used to store the virtual disks of the desktops which run on the VDI host. |
| You can use any x86 host (even your laptop) to create a VirtualBox virtual machine which will be used by Sun VDI as a template for the desktops. Templates must be created in VirtualBox for VDI (version 2.0.10), which is available on the VDI download page. |

| The VMware setup requires at least three VDI hosts, one VMware vCenter host, and one VMware ESX host. Most VDI deployments will probably require and additional storage host. All required VDI components (VDI Core) are installed on the VDI hosts. The VMware vCenter host and the VMware ESX host are used to maintain the virtual machines. We recommend that you set up the system from scratch to avoid problems. |

| The required number of VDI hosts and ESX hosts as well as their CPU and memory complement vary with the number of virtual machines you want to support. For further information on sizing and an exact list of compatible ESX hosts refer to the sizing documentation and the hardware compatibility lists at [www.vmware.com|http://wikis.sun.com/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=VDI3&title=www.vmware.com&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=78610672]. |
