Honest question here. First: What year exactly was this deployment put in place? At least for Intel their CPU performance for VM has increased SUBSTANTIALLY even in the last couple years. I remember taking some VM hosts from some of their first (or second? Can't remember for sure) gen processors to the 5500 series. It was like night and day. It is even more so for the e5 series.
Second: Why did you implement a large-scale VMWare install without either having a testing period before sinking contract dollars and license costs into it, or at least having contract terms to opt-out if their claims didn't match reality?
- hp50g 14y ago2008. TBH not sure what CPUs we had in there. Kit has been scrapped now. I wouldn't bother going through it again. We now have a standard half and full rack which we can purchase and deploy quickly for an installation so there are no plans to piss any more time and cost up the wall. We did have a testing period which was unfortunately run by a Muppet who decided the loss was acceptable. Muppet now no longer works for organisation.
