The Customer Labtown would like to create a new vSphere 5 enviroment to run some new production requriements with five hosts that was recently re-purposed from a sister company. The hosts have two eight core 2GHZ CPU with 64GB of memory each. Each host currently has 1 quad port 1GB network card onboard with two empty PCI slots for further expansion. The current storage will be used for this project so storage isn't a concern. The new hosts must be able to handle all networking requirements of the new vSphere enviroment. There is no money in the budget for extra hosts but additional network cards can be purchased if needed.
