Link: "VMware Consolidation Ratios Aren’t A Competition" by Bob Plankers, The Lone Sysadmin.
“I just read an article about an IBM shop that is planning a 50:1 virtualization ratio in their VMware environment,” I told two coworkers.
“What’s our ratio?”
“19:1 across our whole VMware environment.”
“Do we plan to get to 50:1?”
“No,” I reply.
“Why not?”
