We're using VMWare. The basis of the decision was that VMWare already
had a large install base at MIT and many of our servers and workstations
are a few years old and lack the processor virtualization extensions.
VMWare was chosen by MIT many years ago due to being more mature at the
time than the other virtualization options and due to its enterprise
management tools for large deployments.
If there had been no historical precedent, we (simile) probably would
have used KVM/QEMU or Xen if we did not have sufficient newer hardware
with the virtualization extensions available.
Please, let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks,
- VAB
