Hello,

The number of VMs you can run is directly limited by the memory needed
for each VM. If you have 8Gb, reserve at lease 1Gb for the Domain-0, so
there are 7Gb left, if your VMs are 1 GB each you can run #7 VMs.
If the load of each VM is high you will be limited by the processing
power.

Regards,

JPPO
