[Freeswitch-users] Running FS on a heavy loaded VMWare host

[Peter Olsson]

Most problems I've seen in VMware was in older version, or when someone
shares more resources than available on the physical host machine. For
instance, if the physical host has 16 cores, don't try to share more than
16 cores to the VM's, it will eventually give you problems, especially
during high load.

BUT, you will have to test in your own environment to make sure it works as
expected, there are too many variables in this setup to send a simple
answer if it will work or not.
