Those work great for many people, but I needed a way to offer customers visibility into their VMs and extra control beyond just an SSH connection.

VMware allows me to give them console access to their VMs easily and securely.

VMware isn’t cheap but the feature set is amazing.

I have been enjoying playing around with KVM and libvirt with shared nfs-ha on the back end. I have used more of the old VMware server and found that it came at a much higher load than with the same or more number of instances on KVM. Would like to do some work with vSphere some day though, sounds like an impressive product.

VMware is more than just quite slick, but I can not find a better term for it.

With vSphere (the newest release)…man a ton of new cool things. I am testing out the disaster recovery system (once per day backup system) and so far I like it quite a bit.

Wish I had Enterprise Plus so I could test out the distributed virtual switch stuff in a production environment…

VMware is quite slick. I found the AMD’s VMware demos on their Istanbul platform no less than amazing. The automatic failover with just a minor stutter in video playback speaks volumes about VMwares stability.

Microsoft’s Hyper-V is fantastic, if you don’t need any of those pesky enterprise features.
