Greetings! We have eight RHEL 6 servers with 8 vCPUs each handling a large workload, which continues to grow. We could expand the server farm horizontally by adding more servers, or vertically by adding more vCPUs. I'm concerned about SMP effects of adding more vCPUs but don't have any data to validate that concern one way or another.
Can anyone provide a recommendation? More servers or more vCPUs?
