    KVM vs XEN

    I use kill -9 all the time to blow away kvm virtual machines and haven't had any issues so far. If you want kvm, but prefer a gui and baremetal setup like esxi then try out Proxmox

    Really depends on the environment as to whether it is better to have public or private dns servers configured. What type are the majority of requests? Is there a caching name server that is internal? Try testing with namebench to see what is optimal

    Do the KGPE-D16 and/or Z9PR-D12 support intel SR-IOV?

    The feature isnt mentioned in either the KGPE-D16 and/or Z9PR-D12 motherboards user manual and Asus support can't tell me, so I am wondering if anyone has tried it out at all? I think the Z9PE-D16 might support it? For anyone wondering what SR-IOV is read this

    2P/4P advice needed

    Space, noise and heat are all big issues as I live in New York :( Looked at Spotswood's tech trays and they look pretty decent. How much noise does a 4P with hyper212's make? My current E3-1230V2 is running 30+ VM's when I need them. Mostly networking and security appliances so the load is...
