VSphere 5.5 has introduced vNUMA which allows the Guest OS to be aware that they are running on a NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Architecture) topology. In the past and currently the big issue was that EIT could not build virtual machines with CPUs that would span over multiple physical sockets as this would create performance issues and contention when requesting resources.

That reason being to protect debtors from abusive collecting practices performed by debt collectors. Just because Check Investor’s found a thought-provoking and ingenious loophole in the code, our judicial system is set up in a way to fend off loopholes that infringe on the overall…
