Hello,

we run several windows servers and windows clients on our vmware esx. One of the Windows 2003 Servers is a build-server with major HDD-reads/writes. as it is our build server.

This machine was a hardware before and was virtualized to the ESX. Is there any way to increase the HDD-Performance? Perhaps there are special windows (guest) drivers? The files are stored on a Raid6 base.

Performance graph of vmware infrastructure client shows reads up to 650 KBps and writes up to 4000 KBps.

Thank you. Regards, Uwe
