Bobst Group
One of our first virtualization projects consisted of converting our entire Siebel environment from physical to virtual. We were extremely surprised with the results; none of the users noticed the conversion. The old environment was running for years before, so the users were used to how things worked. In one weekend we did the complete migration to virtual servers–on Friday the workers logged out of Siebel and on Monday they returned to using it. They remarked absolutely nothing. No reactions, no complaints. There were no performance issues at any level. After this experience, we deployed ESX in multiple sites worldwide, converted everything to virtual, and just threw away the old physical machines. We now have a VMware first policy where all new servers are VMware virtual machines.
