要全面实现这些功能，需要一定的资金规模和时间哈。
目前只能一步步涉足。

TiGi

“Enhanced processor support for FT”目前比较关注这个的细节。

housefull

目前的新5.0还未能支持smp FT, 但已有计划在下一个大补丁或5.x版本中加入。

TiGi

估计要等5.1了。

jameslord

Scalability -- 512 VMs per host  是什么意思？

TiGi

每个物理主机，最大支持512个虚拟机。

jameslord

有必要这么多虚拟机么？

TiGi

个人觉得有这个可行性。
就我的双六核、144G内存的服务器上看，日常跑近20个虚拟机(其中还包括划了2个32G、1个16G内存的数据库、应用服务)，CPU负荷最高不超过25，通常在10。因此四个E7 10核处理器，配置512G内存或者1T内存，跑256+虚拟机，完全是可能的。

jameslord

内存还有144的啊？
怎么不是128？

目前跑ESXi的两个主机，一个是4G×18买来后，跑ESXi，没多久就发现CPU绰绰有余！内存已经快满了；所以再买一个服务器的时候，内存配置的是8G×18。

jameslord

你的主机上还有剩余的内存条插槽？

TiGi

用满了。R710一共只有18根。
我大致看过，内存配置到一定程度后，R810可能会比R710核算。一个是E7 2850/4850(其实用于四插槽的服务器的叫4xxx，用于二插槽的服务器叫2xxx)处理器，一个是X5650处理器。

Yes, if R710 is full, then R810 is the good choice, as it has 32 Dimms, so two sockets is enough. (I've been there before, so I knew)
Strange enough if you pop up all 4 sockets, the bus speed will be cut into half. (ie, so it's better use two sockets on R810)

Good，thank's
