5. 950 days uptime

6. 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… Copyright © 2005 VMware, Inc.
