1. A method for evaluating performance and/or capacity of server based computing or virtual desktop infrastructure, the method comprising:
- a) loading the infrastructure with simulated user workloads;
b) increasing the number of simulated users; and
c) determining a capacity of the infrastructure when a response time, including a baseline response time and a fixed latency, exceeds a predetermined response time threshold due to the loading of the infrastructure in said step a) and increasing the number of simulated users in said step b).

Abstract
A method is disclosed for simulating user load and evaluating performance and/or capacity of SBC or VDI datacenter infrastructure. The method runs workloads on a virtual desktop infrastructure for an increasing number of virtual users. When the average response time of the infrastructure to performed operations exceeds a predetermined threshold, the number of simulated users at that time may be considered the capacity of the infrastructure.
