VMware "Miles Ahead" of Microsoft Virtual Server

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the virtualize-this dept.

sunshineluv7 writes, "IT managers gathered in New York City earlier this week to get advice from experts on when, why, and how to virtualize their server environments. The takeaway from the conference: if you want to run an enterprise-class virtualization platform in production today, stick with VMware." Other wise words from this conference: "Virtualization is a journey, not a project."

    Ive run VMWare on multiple platforms and have never had a single issue.. Ok one or two but they were my own fault. Support forums out there are nice and I havent ever had to explain to someone how to set it up beyond the initial "Go to this URL". If you have given up on understanding VMWare I would suggest staying away from other technologies such as OpenOffice, any version of Linux, and for that matter I would just box up your PC and ship it back. Make sure you dont use any sharp objects either....

    Ya I know I went overboard :)

    I've even seem a VMWare Vmotion demonstration where a guest machine BSOD'd and you could still seamlessly move that guest machine across different VMWare servers, essentially moving the BSOD around.

    Not sure what the practical point is, but it was amusing.

    What do they think all the developers of the world are going to do with their pre-public releases?


    If you are like a co-worker of mine, shout "oooOOO Vista is out!" and wipe your HD and install the beta on your primary computer.

    But binary seems most appropriate, self-scaling according to the size of the base unit.

    I find e more natural.

    Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.
