We're getting ready to install Nessus scanners as Windows 2008 R2 Virtual Machines within our VMWare Infrastructure. The scanners will be heavily
used as we have thousands of target computers to scan.
As I understand, VM Machines use a pool of CPU/Memory resources that is shared with every other VM Machine in a Data Center, thereby competing for resources. I've heard that a VM vulnerability scanner requires specific dedicated resources within VMWare such as "Resource Reservations," "Resource Pools," etc.
Can you give me some specific recommendations or documentation concerning these specifications?
