Howdy all,
I would like to query, based on personal experience, which Dell servers provide overall best performance for running ESXi/vCenter? I am looking to setup an isolated training environment to utilize approximately 100 VM's made up of Windows and Linux OSes and need to ensure I have the proper resources.
Do I need to go with a Dell blade server or would a high powered Dell PowerEdge server be sufficient?
Any info would be appreciated!
First I recommend you check the VMware HCL: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php
I think the tower servers are enough and here are some Dell tower servers compatible with vSphere ESXi 5.5:
The Dell PowerEdge R720's are more than powerful enough. We have lots of them in our environment.
