Better redundancy and scaling … I find Proxmox “clunky” to deal with …. And very critical was fail-over options when you have a hardware failure – Xen Server deals with this much better in my experience (a LOT better)

It has a fully open source version as well that is pretty rich in features. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Monday, December 28, 2015 4:48 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [AFMUG] VMWare Etc Is there a free version of VMWare? What are limitations vs paid? How do you manage containers? Does it support software raid? Does it have scheduled backup capabilities? How does it compare to Proxmox? I have a few linux centos servers: directadmin, email, DNS, speedtest, mysql database and box running lots of perl scripts to monitor my network. Would like to move them all to data center on one box and a second box there to shove backups on.
