What is a Server Virtualization sizing?
This is the most common workload along with VDI. This can be used for any web app which needs to be sized. Each workload or the application which is to be migrated to the Nutanix software stack is a VM with its own CPU/RAM/Capacity requirements. To simplify for the users, Sizer has set profiles (small,medium,large ) for the VMs but customizable as per the actual application needs.
What are profiles in Server Virtualization in Sizer?
Profiles are fixed templates with pre assigned resources in terms of vCPUs, RAM, SSD, HDD to each profile. Broadly, small, medium,large profiles will have different allocation of these resources.
The idea is to facilitate users with the details of a workload (that is a VM) so they cna quickly fill in number of VMs and Sizer will do the necessary sizing.

While these templates and their values are general guidelines, these are customisable.
