I'm planning this development environment with a few database servers, and originally thought I would have a few private networks. I then thought it might be unnecessary as the ESXi cluster already provides redundancy with 4 NICs (in my case) and should manage the network traffic pretty intelligently, right?
Two private networks
Zero private networks
What are the advantages/disadvantages between the two shown configurations - on an ESXi 4.1 host?
