At a client site we came upon a problem with Windows 2003 VM’s. They would get low network performance when we moved them to a newly formed ESX cluster consisting of HP 460c G6 blades. In some cases logging on to the server with a remote session took about 20 minutes.

If you haven&#8217;t upgraded to VMware vSphere 4 by now, you should consider it and rethink your strategy. VMware has removed all but the most recent versions of their Virtual Infrastructure product binaries from their download page on June 17th.

When we are selling, designing and/or building a virtual infrastructure, we brag about consolidation ratios we can accomplish.
But what&#8217;s a consolidation ratio of 8 to 1 or 10 to 1? In this case a picture says more than a thousand words &#8230;&#8230;..

Based on the real life results when virtualizing XenApp I thought it was about time to summarize some of the best practices for virtualizing XenApp servers.
Why we DO want to virtualize XenApp?

For mixing server editions: 32-bit and 64-bit XenApp VMs can coexist;
For management: Better management through flexibility [...]]]></description>
