Fusion-io cards are ideal for low latency, high IOPS transactions. VMware applications are broad and high-speed storage, especially when multiple VMs are hitting a datastore, is essential. In case you missed it – we had our install a Fusion-io ioDrive on Windows guide posted recently and notes on Ubuntu and Proxmox (Debian custom build) with Fusion-io.
