Firstly, how did you conclude the disk performance is bad? How did you 
measure it? To what did you compare it? Virtualization always introduces 
IO latency.

Secondly, ML 350 is a product family - which generation (e.g. G6?) do 
you have? This is important because only G6 supports Nehalem-type CPUs 
which have EPT support - everything older is simply too slow.
