Comments on: Memory usage in vCenter Server 4.0 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/memory-usage-in-vcenter-server-40/ A SearchVMware.com blog Sat, 28 Nov 2009 04:51:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: MikeLaverick http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/memory-usage-in-vcenter-server-40/#comment-173 MikeLaverick Tue, 12 May 2009 18:27:54 +0000 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/?p=792#comment-173 The interesting thing about this change - is how 2GB of RAM and 2Ghz of CPU is practically the standard amount that VMWare use for all of the windows products such as SRM and View3. Given that good VM sizing is art that we can all learn - it be nice to see the parent of virtualization (VMware) give us a bit more to go on when we come to size up their own services. I find it an little irrtating that we need this web-service (as opposed to the end-user service). But I guess what with SOAP and XML being the backbone of the SDK it is unavoidable. Roll on vCenter being a download virtual appliance without the need of commerical database... There is one available already. Unfortunately, its only QA'd against Vi3.5 not vSphere4 The interesting thing about this change - is how 2GB of RAM and 2Ghz of CPU is practically the standard amount that VMWare use for all of the windows products such as SRM and View3.

But now the killer question : Can vSphere 4 run on top of tomcat 5 ? if yes, is there a way to avoid the installation / upgrad of the Tomcat Apache server ? In the end, all what vCenter requires is a Webserver... Thanks and have a great time, Beat A VMWare Admin Hi Eric,
