I've been running amp in a vm for several years... ~900 APs, 7
controllers (cisco environment).
No issues what so ever. 4 cpus, 8192 MB ram.
Processors in the esx hosts are X5690s, 3.47 Ghz.

How many of you have successfully virtualized an Airwave platform? We
are considering it, as we are moving beyond 5,000 Aps in the near
future, and are going to either have to buy new hardware or spin up
new instances. We have a brand new high performance cluster we have
purchased (currently getting it ready for deployment) attached to high
end NetApp storage.
For those of you that have done this, can you tell me how many access
points you have and what resources you have allocated for the airwave
server (cores, memory, etc)...
Of course, we are going to contact Aruba about this as well, but from
personal experience, very few vendors actually want you to virtualize
anything they have (due to added complexity for troubleshooting
through abstraction).
Have a happy holiday!!
