And you thought your ESX lab at home was big..

 

Chad has an interesting article and set of photos here about the joint Cisco/EMC/VMWare lab they maintain to test v.large implementations.

Excellent stuff, makes any of my labs pale into insignificance, especially my garage geek temple.

write-up Here and here

I definitely agree with Chad that they should publish the details of solutions that didn’t scale too well as well as those that did; if only for the allies (EMC, VMWare, Cisco) 🙂 to get feedback on if the market wants those kind of solutions that didn’t work; or at least to show where there is room for improvement to focus dev/R&D effort – but validated.
