Hi all,
I am due to start a new job in the next fortnight - the short story is that these guys are running a decent-sized LAMP-backed website and currently rent servers from a third party. As a result, their hosting costs are huge and they're looking to bring things in-house.
I don't currently have any figures or metrics, but I'm starting to formulate a plan to suggest vSphere as a virtualisation platform. My main headache at the moment is storage. Given that I'm going to be starting from scratch, what are people's thoughts on 10GbE iSCSI vs 16Gb FC storage? Not necessarily "which is faster" as I don't want this to turn into a fan-boy fight, but "which is more appropriate for our scenario".
Opinions from anyone who has run a large LAMP stack on vSphere would be amazing.
Cheers!
