Looking for some advice: We want to use Webcams and Headsets for about 20 users on our local / on-premise Terminal Server (RDS). Single Session-Host, no Cluster - fairly simple. Right now we are running our Windows-VMs on a recent ESXi-Build (6.7) with decent
Hardware, but no GPU.
Just to give you some idea on what kind of Hardware our Hypervisor is running right now:
2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6128 CPU @ 3.40GHz / 128 GB RAM / local RAID 10 (SAS 10k)
After some tinkering I managed to use our Webcams and Headsets redirected within the classic RDP-Session. Unfortunately the Performance is quite bad if we use the Webcam and also display the other persons cams in MS Teams for example. CPU usage just skyrocks (even with multiply cores / different cpu-layouts assigned).
So I was wonder is this because we are missing a GPU and the CPU can't handle all the Encoding and stuff for more users in parallel fast enough? If so: What would be the best way to handle this Hard- and Software-wise. I guess RemoteFX with a build-in GPU could help?
Just looking for some directions / possible strategies (inclunding new Hard- or Software) to go here, please advice.
Thanks.
