It's a diffcult question to answer as there is a number of factors at play;

 

ie You may have 150 users but what is the average concurrent count?

What applications are you running and how many?

 

Maybe the easier way to find out your requirements in Azure is to first assess your usage on-premise and 'convert' to Azure?

 

I will say this however. Ignore the pricing calculator WVD provides. Our intial testing has shown around 10 concurrent users to 4vCPU and 32GB RAM is the sweet spot, however mileage will vary dependant on the end users usage of the system.

    Thanks for the reply.  Concurrently we have 130-140 users using Office 365 (primarily Outlook), a Java based terminal emulator and a PDF reader.  

     

    Your last comment is EXACTLY what I am looking for!  User Density.  I need to see what "real world" folks are seeing for density, and you have given me a real answer.

     

    Thanks!
