Are there any changes to these recommendations? Any change in driver support, or thoughts on the current cost-effectiveness of faster components?

Thanks for the very detailed guidelines. About NIC’s I still have some question. You were talking about 10G NIC and you said Chilsio NIC’s are the prefer ones, but I’m not sure you were talking about its SPF+ ones or RJ45 ones?

Am looking at building a 10-20TB system to house over 80 virtual machines for DR. So not a production environment but needs to be able to deliver production performance if needed.
