Presently it’s Ubunutu 14.04.2 LTS
Network interface is VMXNet3 on an Intel I350 GigE, Auto negotiated at 1000Mbps 
full duplex
Switch is a Cisco SG300-50p

Board is a SuperMIcro X9DR3 with 64GB RAM
LSI 9270-8i controller with RES2SV240 expander (running 21 drives in R6)

ESXi 5.5.0

For buildout purposes VM has 1GB and 1CPU and isn’t coming close to taxing out 
(Xeon E5-2630, 6-core 2.3GHz).

The VM host is not less than 20% right now (mostly idle). My best upload was 
12.5Mbps according to the performance graphs.
