We are completely distributed here. One of our guys went to the VMware conference they put on and the room was filled with people from Hospitals and Government organizations. One of the biggest things is disaster recovery once we are completely virtualized we could literally spin up our Datacenter in Tampa in Boston in a matter of minutes via the network if there was a problem. Also think of the speed if you have your File Server in an instance and a High Volume Web App in another instance on the same server. The traffic would never hit the network they would just talk to one another. This all based on having the hardware to do this. I think we are using Quad Zeon boxes with 28GB of ram :) I wish I had one at home! Great stuff I can remember when VMware first came out. It allowed us to run Linux on windows and cost me $49.00 I want to say in 2000 LOL I am going to duck out of this topic online to clear the list so if anyone wants to chat more shoot me an email ~Eric ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:246632 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
