[ovirt-users] Which hardware are you using for oVirt

[Luca 'remix_tj' Lorenzetto]

Sorry Andy,

forgot to write the density.

On the first cluster (6 nodes) we're running 225 VMs at the moment
On the second one (2 nodes) we're running 42 VMs + the engine.

This setup is running since last July.

Just for completness, we've just set up another environment with the
same sizing (2 sockets + 512gb ram) and distribution (6+2) but
different hardware (Lenovo x240 M5 IIRC) for hosting production VMs.
At the moment there are few VMs, but we're planning to migrate over
300 VMs. Same storage backend.
