Re: [Xen-users] Xen opinions?

Gary,

  Are this webservers serving static content (apache) or are they
running any sort of application (tomcat/jboss) ?

  Can you describe your servers configuration, just to get a picture?
We are getting some initial benchmarks, but I would apreciate external
input on this one.

 Thanks in advance,
Guido Barosio
