I'm hearing all of this I guess I need to look at something else.
What does everyone recommend?
Thanks
How much money do you have?
What (how many systems, what do they do?) do you actually want to
virtualize?
Are you going to be around your school for the next couple of years?
;-)
On a small scale, running VMware ESX3i
I'd recommend the ESX3i if your server count is low (thus you won't
need
Virtual Center, which is not free). VMware works amazingly well, is
going to be around for the forseeable future, has excellent vendor
support, and a HUGE community of users. And installation/setup is
akin
to falling off the proverbial log.
I second that.
Plus you can buy into Virtual Center/Foundation later and have your
existing ESXi hosts merged into the management framework as they are
and gain VMotion, HA, DR, VDI, etc.
