We need to get a vmware host specced up, agreed, purchased, delivered, racked, installed, configured, a VM created etc, Once we know this is what we want to do we will need to allow ~1 month turn-around time. Maybe 6 weeks.
Primarily the delay is in the order, racking, and installing stages. But also bear in mind our new EU colo has very few services in it.
