VMWare vSphere (v.5) only runs on a Xserve (and only to a specific version of the Xserve), so unless they make it to work on a Mac Pro, it's a dead product. Unless you get your own Mac Pro or Mac Mini, I wouldn't go with a OS X solution. And honestly, why OS X Server if it's only to host WO apps and databases? I would use OS X Server only if you want to use the other services (iCal Server, mail, managed profiles, etc.). Also, they write: "VMware vSphere is fully supported server virtualization solution that is certified to run on bare Apple Mac Pro and Xserve." But AFAIK, when vSphere 5 was released with official OS X support, they said it only runs on the latest Xserve and could only run Snow Leopard Server, and xCloud supports Lion Server. And I remember that people on the MacEnterprise list tried to get Lion working on vSphere and it didn't work. So either they have a special build of vSphere or it's, sorry to say this, bullshit :-) Anyway, before signing on if you want to use a OS X virtualization service, you should ask questions about long-term support… which can be a difficult to answer to, because it's Apple and we don't know if they will stop doing Mac Pro... > Jérémy > > Le 12 déc. 2011 à 10:07, Gino Pacitti a écrit : > >> Thank...
