<p style="margin:0;">In an effort to reduce the cost and complexity of server management, while focusing on business continuity, eGroup recently implemented a 16 CPU VMware ESX farm at MG&amp;C. eGroup engineers performed a VMware jumpstart, and utilizing VMware converter they converted several physical servers to a new virtual environment with little to no downtime per server. <!--more-->This implementation included two HP ProLiant DL385 G5 Servers with an EMC Celera NS 352 for shared storage.
