Finally

We are finally up and running with VI3 Enterprise. Yesterday I was able to establish our 4 node ESX cluster and actually get a template or two ready for VM deployments. It's going to make life so much easier.

We wound up with (4) Dell Poweredge 1950s, 32gb ram, (2) Quad Core Procs, (2)2.5 SAS drives, and six ethernet interfaces.

The plan is to virtualize..well everything we can, about 30 servers or so.

The backend storage consists of an EqualLogic PS300, 3700x connected with dual Cisco 3750s tied into our Catalyst 4507r.

It sounds geeky, and it is..but it's very cool. Just because.

The fun begins.
