In this discussion we explore what kind of server will give you the most bang for your buck, broaching topics such as optimal ratio of processors-to-cores, blades vs. racks, how to cost-effectively purchase memory and the pros and cons of the new generation of unified compute system (UCS) servers. Topics covered include:

1. What you should look for when buying hardware for virtualization projects
