We&#8217; ve been doing quite a few VMware View POC&#8217;s and the question that colleagues keep asking me is:
 &#8216;How do I optimize my Windows guest OS for use with VMware View?&#8217;.
First of all, I primarily use x86 versions of Windows XP and 7. The disk usage is much less, I seldom need more than [...]]]></description>

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.

With yesterdays release of vSphere 4.1 comes the challenge to upgrade your existing installation to this new version. Because I have been testing the beta for a while now, I couldn´t wait to try it in our new testing environment.

However, there are a few caveats:

This new vSphere version contains 150 new features and has improved scalability, memory management, DRS, etc.

This month Dell released their  firmware for EqualLogic iSCSI SANs.
A couple of things that caught my attention:

vStorage API support. Things like snapshot, storage vmotion etc are now handled by the array, instead of the ESX host
you can create seperate volume administrators. No more need to create group admins if you only need to create volumes

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;..
