Hidden benefits…
• The set of devices presented to every VM is identical
• single image required for your whole company
• hardware-independency = even hw upgrades do not require new VMware images; even if you switch vendors
• Power and heat
• VMware is licensed by socket…quad core is optimal
• A server running at 25% and 75% are almost identical from a power and heat perspective…so get your servers to 75% before buying more…
