Hi Bigbeatz and rmodak,
I am also getting a HP XW9400 as a 2nd ESX Box, my first ESX box is a Intel XEON based machine (Quad core and HT Enabled).
The box I am being offered is 2 x AMD opteron dual core processors with 16GB DDRII
How is this box performing for your purposes ? I will be using this either :
a) As a esx host - hosting as many vms it can handle :-)
or
b) as a Nexenta ZFS based storage
Will be grateful for your suggestions - Thanks
