Okay I’m jumping ahead here as I haven’t had a chance to post regarding the choice of laptop and reasons behind it yet… but I’m in such a good mood about how it is performing right now I needed to post something short.
You may have already guessed, I’m a VM junkie! I am currently prepping for something and have just spun up three different test environments to test with:
Exchange2010: 1x 2008R2 DC, 2x 2008R2 Exchange2010 in DAG, 1x Win7 Client
ESX3.5: 2x ESX3.5, 1x VCMS Server, 1x Client
SQL2008 Cluster Env: 1x 2008R2 DC, 2x 2008R2 SQL2008 Clustered
All ELEVEN VMs are running right now, I’ve used 10GB RAM for VMs and still have 2GB left for the OS. The first environment on the first internal HD, the second on the second internal HD and as the laptop has USB3 – the third env is on an USB3 external disk.
I love this laptop! More on what it is and why I chose it coming soon…
