Question

In a VMware Horizon environment running on Nutanix, an administrator has noticed that create, start, shut down, and delete operations are taking longer than expected, the environment is currently configured with one vCenter instance and has 10,000 virtual desktops. What is the recommended number of vCenter instances in this configuration?

Explanation

A single vCenter instance has practical scalability limits for management plane operations (power-on, create, delete, shutdown). At 10,000 virtual desktops, issuing large volumes of simultaneous lifecycle operations against a single vCenter creates a management bottleneck - not a compute or storage bottleneck - causing those operations to queue and take longer than expected. Nutanix and VMware Horizon best-practice sizing guidelines recommend splitting large desktop pools across two vCenter instances at this scale. This distributes the API call load, reducing latency for administrative and automated broker operations. Two vCenter instances (Answer B) is the documented recommendation for environments in the 5,000–10,000 desktop range.
