Although we have god know how many physical hosts for the virtual environment. 20 may be a good start. <br />We have no more available power in the server room so the only way to grow is virtual.Tekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347409124682537594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236818078482978377.post-71944128962988180452011-06-22T16:59:44.887-05:002011-06-22T16:59:44.887-05:00Coincidentally, the server in question was virtual...Coincidentally, the server in question was virtual. Unfortunately, no successful backup image was available. That's another boring techie story though.<br />My IT guys would like to convert everything to virtual servers and cram as much into to a physical box as it can handle.

It allows them to easily Plop down an image of the problem server and be back and running. Now if one of the host server fails everything slows down until that core is replaced.Tekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347409124682537594noreply@blogger.com
