Recommendations with priority 2

The following constraints fall under recommendations with priority 2:

  • CPU utilization is generally low, so consider increasing the amount of RAM per ESXi host. Reason: this leads to greater consolidation ratio without impacting CPU performance.
  • Determine whether strict enforcement of the 1vCPU: 4 GB RAM RU model is necessary. Reason: potential waste of compute resources. May lead to greater consolidation ratios.
  • Don't have full backup jobs overlapping with antivirus scanning to limit the impact on ESXi host CPU utilization. Reason: lessen the CPU load requirements on ESXi hosts, which may otherwise lead to performance reduction within the VMs and the services running on them.
  • Spread antivirus scanning of VMs ...
