You have a 32 GB server to use as a virtualization host. You have thirty-two applicationservers that you plan to P2V to this host. Each application server is currently on aphysical server that has 4 GB of memory. The application servers all run WindowsServer 2008. Without taking advantage of any memory optimization techniques, what is the maximumnumber of virtual machines you can host on your server? With page sharing and ballooning you can take advantage of memory overcommit. Ifyou overcommit memory at a 1.25:1 ratio, how many virtual machines can you nowhost? While gathering baseline performance metrics for the move to the virtual environment,you find that on average, each system is actually using only 1 GB of memory. Keepingthe same overcommit ratio, how many virtual machines can be hosted? You decide to leave some additional memory available for growth or emergency. At a90 percent utilization limit, how many virtual machines can you have?c0
