350,000+ Virtual Desktop Instalation in Brazil

eWeek writes that Brazil now has the largest single desktop virtualization and Linux deployment.  Over 350,000 workstations in schools.

Personally,  I think getting only 10 virtual workstations to a single server is pretty week.  Memory is cheap, and I doubt the CPU requirements are going to be all that demanding.  I’d probably pushing to get at least 20 to 25 per server.  To me, that would seem to “really” be worth it.  Although 10 to 1 does provides a significant savings both in monetary resources, as well as being green for our environment, to make it worth it.

Virtualization is very cool.
