The testing Epicor did at Microsoft Labs had 6 servers for appservers
with 1 Gbps Connections to the Database server.
I recall this was for 600 users. 100 per server
So it is more of a scaling and availability options.
I run development environments with VMWare and have no issues.

Subject: [Vantage] Splitting DB and App Servers, Using Virtualization
Is there any reason why we might want to split the "application" server
from the "database" server, running Vantage off of two (or more) servers
instead of hosting the entire installation on only one?
Since there is little processor-overhead on the server from the
application-side of Vantage, I think the answer is that it really
doesn't matter, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
This brings me to my next question:
Has anyone considered or implemented server-virtualization for Vantage
8.03, specifically using VMWare products?
I've been looking into the cost-effectiveness of implementing
virtualization, and based on the utilization of the system, I don't
think performance will be an issue. Any thoughts, ideas, or input is
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
