Dear WHTA,

We have upgraded one of our EMC Arrays to Enterprise Flash Disks. These are not the common off the shelf SSD, they are Enterprise Flash Drives and cost 12k each.

We have been using dbench to measure performance on the physical servers and guests. (dbench-4.0-4.el6.x86_64.rpm).

Hi,

I have a few questions for you.

1. What processors do you use?
2. What datacentre are these hosted in?
3. Do you run your own network?
4. What is your AS number?
5. Your website states you offer Geographic migration - What other datacentres do you have a presence in which this could work in?
