I recently stepped into a position where the previous administrator was in the process of setting up a VMware ESX infrastructure. My experience with VMware products is limited to VMware Server and VMware Workstation. Two identical servers were purchased with 2TB of storage (RAID 5) and 4 NICs per box.... nothing special otherwise. I am not sure what he was thinking... (and the VMware representative that helped him). My quick research indicates you need another server to manage ESX (virtual center) and a SAN/NAS for centralized storage. It was purchased as a high availability solution. Any ideas where he might have been headed?
