We have a new environment with 4 HP blade servers, two 10 GB Ethernet switches and an HP 3PAR SAN. Each ESXi host has 8 x 10 GB NICs. We have vSphere 5.5 Enterprise Plus licenses for the ESXi hosts.
The contractor installed and configured standard switches instead of distributed switches. Should we use distributed switches for easy network management, consistency and expansion of VM networks? I think we are limited to 4 standard switches with 8 NICs per host.
Thanks,
