A one month long VI poll just wrapped up and shows that the majority of people who responded to the poll are not effectively utilizing VMware Resource Pools. Myself included. Well to tell the truth, I have the resource pools set up, but I'm not pushing the infrastructure hard enough for them to provide the benefit they were designed to deliver.

What does this mean? In my case, and I'll go out on a limb and suspect much of the same is true in other cases, the VI isn't filled to the capacity that it can actually handle. More virtualization is needed.
