Lamar, Were these deployed on bare metal or as virtual machines? If Virtual were they on vmware? Can anyone else chime in on their experience with these platforms in a vmware environment? Are there any special network card / controller card settings that have worked best? Can anyone speak to how well a virtual machine will perform when being given 1 socket 1 core, vs. 1 socket 2 cores vs 2 sockets 1 core?
