Hi Since media servers have some pretty high powered network connections, I would recommend a standard hardware Windows server as a media server. It is easier to team the NICs. You want this system to stream data as fast as possible

We have a choice of combining the Windows media server with the VMWare or making it separate Unix or Windows - any thoughts? My thought was that the windows media server should "play nicely" with the existing unix servers, and it might be better to have windows connections to backup the VMWare - is this a false assumption?
