Deploy as many virtual appliances on the same host as possible.
Deploy the virtual appliances on the same cluster if the cluster goes beyond the host boundary.
Segment redundant elements on a different cluster, or ensure that the redundant elements are not on the same host.
Plan for rainy day scenarios or conditions. Do not configure resources only for traffic or performance on an average day.
Do not oversubscribe resources. Oversubscribing affects performance.
Monitor the server, host, and virtual appliance performance.

The values for performance, occupancy, and usage can vary greatly. The blade server might run at 5% occupancy, but a virtual machine might run at 50% occupancy. Note that a virtual machine behaves differently when the CPU usage is higher. |
