Not mentioned so far but I use Citrix XenServer for my virtualization needs for Windows servers and XenDesktop. It's a good fit if you are already a Citrix shop (we are). Tom Miller Engineer, Information Technology Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board 757-788-0528
>>> "Kennedy, Jim" <kennedy...@elyriaschools.org> 10/26/2010 9:47 AM >>> Probably a can of worms here but we have not done much virtualization but are about to get into it more. It will be pretty simple virtualization, a couple of big boxes running 4 or 5 virtualized servers each. No cluster failovers or anything like that. We dabbled in VMWare before Hyper-V became mature but now I need to pick one and run with it. I am leaning towards Hyper-V because it is included with our license and so far has been pretty painless in testing. I found VMWare to be confusing with all the different packages, licensing...upgrades and all that. I suspect it provides far more flexibility but not knowing what that flexibility really is concerns me. So thought I would ask the knowledgeable masses here if I am missing anything important.
