Hi,
I have done some reading on disk speeds and Hyper-V/VMWare.
This recommendation always seems to come back: The faster the better, and ensure you have enough cache. This is a nice theoretical answer for someone
that doesn’t need to pay the hardware… :-) What is the practical difference in Hyper-V when working with 7,2 K RPM, 10 K RPM or 15 K RPM disks? Are the
systems/applications where you really need this, or is this generally a nice to have? Faster disk speeds means generally smaller sizes and are more expensive...
Is this worth it?
When I did some calculations for the W2008R2 Hyper V platform about 3-4 years ago, Microsoft generally advised 2 virtual servers per core. And memory is the main parameter for provisioning. Is this still valid? Again, I am looking on a practical answer from experience, more than a theoretical one.
Thanks again!
