I kicked out VMWare and their "Windoze" tools i hate (i know that now
they offer a VM with command line tools). I'm not saying VMWare is not
good though, it's just i hate their tools. On top of that, it can cost
a lot of money. But they have the features!
I moved to KVM and i'd say i like it a lot. I'm planning to test OpenStack.
For storage, big names (3Par, Netapp, etc) offer nice things but it is
rather expensive. I'm testing iSCSI servers with DRDB, STONITH, etc.
Idea is to use commodity hardware and standard software. Nothing new
and i'm not against commercial solution with support and all. It's just
we try to offer affordable and open solutions.
