Once the new server is built I plan to revisit virtualization with some new contenders added to the list.
Here is the current bare metal line up
VMWare ESX
Microsoft Hyper-V
Citrix XEN
RedHat KVM
Windows VM
VMWare Workstation & Server
Oracle / Sun Virtual Box
Parallels Workstation
Linux VM
VMWare Workstation & Server
Oracle / Sun Virtual Box
Parallels Workstation
This will all run on the new server so it will be the same hardware each time around. I might do this before I put in the Raid 50 to make my life a lot more simple when installing and configuring these. If I choose that route I will likely test with a WD Raptor as my main drive to keep the speed up.
This will take some time to complete since the new server isn’t built yet and it is going to take a LOT of reloads.
Thanks and stick around it’s going to be interesting.
can you explain this in details
+1 for you
I’m currently waiting on more hardware to do further testing. All of our current hardware is in use but I expect some to free up in the near future.
