Soooooooo if you had guests averaging 18GB each, and you follow recommendations for page volume utilization (50% as I understand it), Mod 9s would yield around 4GB useable page space each.
That would give you 100 such images per VM ...... (250 volumes times the 4GB/volume divided by 18GB per image)? I know this rough but am I headed in the right direction? I'm making the assumption (an this may be incorrect) that the available real storage backing could support virtual requirements.
