Split points, greater given to PaulNSW as I was after real experiences and not just theory. Thanks guys.

We use these in the Datacenter together!<br />

@Paul mentioned AMD, and nothing to do with Intel!

Hi all,<br />
<br />
Can I use VMware EVC mode in a 2 machine cluster containing an IBM X3650M2 and a HP DL380G7?<br />
<br />
The IBM X3650M2 has 2 x Intel E5520 processors<br />
The HP DL380G7 has 2 x Intel X5690 processors<br />
<br />
According to the EVC Compatibility Guide, 55xx is Nehalem series and 56xx is Westmere. Both are supported under Merom, Penryn and Nehalem EVC baselines. <br />
<br />
My concern is, obviously, the different branded servers and also the fact that one server has quad-core processors whilst the other has six-core processors. Everything I've read 'suggests' it will work OK, but I was hoping someone could give me something more concrete.<br />
<br />
Has anyone else had success in a similar environment? <br />
<br />
<br />
Cheers

VMware EVC with IBM X3650M2 and HP DL380G7

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
