EDI behind the curtains
EDI technical staff recently upgraded our virtualization infrastructure to the latest version of VMware's ESXi software (from version 5 to 6.5). All of EDI's servers, including those that run the PASTA+ data repository software, operate as virtual clients across six ESXi host systems (located on the campus of the University of New Mexico).
