I’ve pulled the article until I have time to properly benchmark all three systems on identical hardware, hopefully after the holidays. Although I used different hardware, I firmly believe my numbers provided a reasonable estimate of what performance you would see using identical hardware. I’d had verbal feedback from others that in fact they saw

I've been digging around on the forums and it seems the only way to really get the performance out of this is by having the iSCSI storage on the actual host machine.

Server Virtualization is becoming a major item these days and is many companies are adopting it. I've heard storys all over the place from development to production, from guys using it to setup test labs of multiple servers using only a handful of boxes to companies replacing 700 physical servers with less than 350.
