Hello and sorry for the ignorance behind this question. I've been reading about
various scale out, "hyper convergence" solutions and want to ask this about
oVirt.
I do vulnerability scanning on my company's assets. I do it from an obsolete laptop
that was given to me. The load goes over 13 sometimes, and the scans take a long time.
If I built an oVirt cluster from 4 or 5 desktop pc's, build VM to run OpenVAS, would
the cpu load demanded by the scanning be spread accross the 3-4 hosts, not inlcuding the
management host, and therby give my scans more CPU power?
If not oVirt, is there another project that would be better suited to what I'm trying
to achieve?
Qualifiers:
-I'm not asking if this is the best way to get high-load scanning done. I'm just
asking if I'll get the combined power from the cpu cores of all the host machines. The
scanning jobs thread already.
-I know it would probably be more efficient to get a powerful multi core workstation or
server to do this. That is not my question.
-The pc's are perfectly good, they are just not being used and won't be used for
anything else.
Thanks in advance.
