Architecture Planning

Your design might benefit from a hybrid approach. You can choose to have very large and relatively static
pools managed by one vCenter Server instance and have several smaller, more dynamic desktop pools
managed by multiple vCenter Server instances. The best strategy for upgrading existing large-scale pods is
to first upgrade the VMware software components of your existing pod. Before changing your pod design,
gauge the impact of the improvements of the latest version's power, provisioning, and refit operations, and
later experiment with increasing the size of your desktop pools to find the right balance of more large
desktop pools on fewer vCenter Server instances.
