Skiver Veteran Posted August 22, 2016 Veteran Share Posted August 22, 2016 As the title suggests, I'm curious what peoples thoughts are (in an Enterprise environment) when it comes to over committing on resources, I'm sure there are a lot of variables that you all consider when putting systems in place but I'm just looking for an in general point of view. The company I work for is mainly Hyper-V but we do have a few ESX hosts too, but in general we always over commit on CPU and HDD (Dynamically expanding disks) however on the whole Memory is always statically set on Hyper-V bar one or two clusters whereas in Vmware its generally left with no restrictions.

+Fahim S. MVC Posted August 22, 2016 MVC Share Posted August 22, 2016 Always on CPU and Disk. Never on RAM because modern OSs run better by using all of the memory available to them. You don't want to be swapping, because it makes the VM slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
