How's your time synchronization over say, a week, on the linux servers running on ESX? Are you running any RHEL 64bit?

In production, we are a large enterprise and we use Virtual Infrastructure 3. We manage, in our development environment alone, about 60+ servers. Management of these servers through Virtual Center is a breeze. Very intuitive and GUI friendly. Unlike Xen. Xen is capable, but lacks the refinements found in VMware. Also, you want to look at supportability, VMware has extensive documentation freely available and a support base that blows away the competition. For 4-10 servers, I would consider using VMware Server for users; and you use VMware Workstation to create the VMs. VMware Server is free, VMware Workstation is ($189) but gives you ability to create VMs, replicate and deploy them as new instances, etc. VMware Server is free and runs on both Windows and Linux (although getting it to compile on Linux may be a challenge). I personally use VMware Workstation for Linux (it compiled for me on Fedora Core 8) for all my testing and development.

I am confused with Xen/ OpenVZ? what is your opinion, in terms of maximum cap/ ease of install/configure/ segregation/ connflict etc. Any idea/ suggestion will be of great help.
