A question instantly spring to my mind -

Why all the virtualization? Lack of experience? I haven't done a large amount of work with virtualization, but stopping and thinking about it would seem to have indicated a problem with the design. Did no one look at this and say, "That's a bad idea..."?

I have my suspicions about that but I don't want to voice those here. For one that's possible actionable second there is a lot more to this story than what I can talk about publicly. I'm already very grateful they let me publish as much as I just did.

So, yes: someone did say 'that's a bad idea' and got sidelined for his effort.

I know you can't say anything, but I'm guessing that there's a nonzero chance that the guy who made the hardware decisions is a friend of the guy who sold the hardware.

That's too bad for them, good for you.
