One annoying thing about XenServer I forgot to mention is that they don't support Serial or USB device passthrough to virtual machines. They do support USB storage devices though.

It has a very easy to use GUI, and also has a command line interface. We virtualize all our servers as it allows us to do full OS backups fairly easy. Plus in the event of a hardware failure, you can move VM's to another server with different hardware easily.

Leaning towards FOSS. Seems like OpenVZ is easiest to implement but also looking at KVM and XEM also. Seems that CentOS 6 will be focusing on KVM. What else is everyone doing here? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
