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

We run Dell Poweredge R720s and R730s with 32 GB of RAM and quad Xeon
processors.  Storage is provided by Dell MD3800i and Promise arrays
using iSCSI.  The network is all 10 gigabit interfaces using 802.3ad
bonds.  We actually just upgraded from 1 gigabit NICs since there were
some performance issues with storage causing high IOwait on VMs.  I'd
recommend avoiding 1 gigabit if you can.
