We have been using XenServer Enterprise v4.x, and are quite satisfied with it. The new version (v5) with High Availibility capability is quite a beast.
We are in need of several licenses (Standard/Enterprise) and just want to make sure we are getting the best price. For anybody that uses it, who are you getting your licenses from? And how much are you paying from these resellers?
Is there a web control panel (client area) that will play nicely with Citrix Xen Server.
I'm missing a few pages in this chapter of I don't know WTF...
What is the differance between Xen and XenServer?
Is it correct in saying XenServer is a commercial product with advance features compared to Xen though both are hypervisor based VM.
Also i saw this article
[url]
I always thought hypervisor based VM default OS was a custom OS built within the product but the article suggests that you can install XEN on most linux distro or i am missing something here... does this also apply to XenServer
Not to start a flamewar, but I was curious about real world scenarios, and peoples experience with and recommendations for either.
I have been asked to plan out a smallish virtualization environment (10-12 Dell hosts, iSCSI Equalogic backend), and when reviewing the cost of going with VMWare over Citrix, I can't seem to justify the costs. I figure since Amazon runs on Xen, it must be pretty decent, but am I missing something?
How is it possible to monitor the data used (in and out) for each node in XenServer?

View 5 Replies View RelatedJust wondering, since it appears to be hard to come by, but are there any providers that offer the option to use an automated system in order to provision new licenses for cPanel (or others?)
For example, you're setting up a VPS in the middle of the night, customer wants cPanel. You can't use the trial licenses via cpanel.net since they limit you to 3-4.
If your provider has an automatic API to bill and provision your license, you're good to go. If you don't...
Options? I'm mainly looking in Montreal (I know of Netelligent and Iweb, but both are manual povisioning).
It's not a make-or-break thing, but something nice to have.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm going to open a site (visitors outside US) using tons of space and data transfer.
It's something need lots of space like file hosting (but most file less than 10 mb each)
So i need an affordable dedicated (or semi-dedicate) with less than $100 a month to host my site. Until it grow and i can move site to local provider (better speed, more expensive)
Currently i aimed to netfirms enterprise 2. it's $69 a month, 100 GB Space/2000 Data Trans.
Do you recommend this to me ? Or other's are better.
I am running a server with Windows Enterprise 2003 installed, it has 32GB RAM installed but in control panel I can only see 15.5GB RAM, I understand graphics cards etc will take some of the RAM so I suspect Windows is only seeing 16GB, instead of the installed 32GB, anyone any idea as to why I do not see all 32GB.

View 2 Replies View Relatedexperienced people in Windows 2003 Server edition then me.
Now working for this client of mine seems they have much more problems then just a single hard drive issues as posted in another post.
Now they also have a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition on their server, which is activated but their Product Key fails every time they try getting an update like SP1, etc...
Now, I'm guessing it's because their product key isn't the original or fake as they never purchased Windows 2003 but the tech they fired installed it any ways and got it working.
So I went out and purchased an Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition (OEM Version) as it's cheaper and I had to build a system recently so that worked out pretty well.
Anyways, using all of the tips on the internet to disable or deactivate windows worked well but when using the Activation Wizard and entering the new product key, it just comes back to the product key area again. So I've called Microsoft and the guy on the phone wasnt able to help me nor activate the windows.
Question:
Does anyone here have experience with Windows 2003 Server and would know why this is happening or know a fix?
Do I have to reinstall the OS?
If reinstalling, can I do it the same way as Windows XP that you select to install a new operating system, then select the partition, it detects the operating system on there and replaces the OS files only with the new ones but leaves everything in the same state, does something like this work or is available in Windows 2003 Server?
It seems they have clustered hosting now... and its at a pretty good price. Is anyone with Netfirms?
View 8 Replies View Related15 days review .. litespeed enterprise web server
We have installed litespeed on our 4 servers ...
2 are cpanel
1 is Direct admin
1 is Plesk ..
All have websites running shopping carts, joomla cms, drupal cms, os commerce, etc....
None of our customers had any problem ... and all of them reported super fast loading ..
static websites load in a zoom ...
also cpanel loads 'like a bullet' with litespeed .. compared to apache on same server .. cpanel loads 2x times fast ...
we had problem of ddos on one of the servers .. now with litespeed its all history ..
also it seems now we can host double websites on same server with litespeed .. it reduces hardware costs ..no wonder wordpress.com uses litespeed ..
we have also tried lighthttpd .. but its too complicated ... litespeed is like plug and play usb ...
also there support is fast and have active forums ...
and they regularly come out with updates and its easy to upgrade ...and instructions in there wiki is simple and clear ..
we have a customer who has Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 on there server and they have asked us to install GD-1.8 and perl-GD-1.33-1.i386 every time we try and install GD-1.8 it says 'GD-2.2 is newer blah blah' and we can not continue. Dose any one know how this can be done and if so could they please give us some information of how to do it.
we have been thinking about forcing 1.8 to install but we do not think this is a good solution as it will cause other problems.
for an enterprise wide deployment, what will you suggest and why among - Red Hat Linux, Suse Linux and Ubuntu Linux, also, do you think, we can negotiate the support pricing down?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm in an environment where we have hundreds of users uploading content to a web site.
With the current system, someone could potentially run a command that would wipe out hundreds of files (and it has recently happened). We are currently looking at ways to improve security and prevent "accidents" by separating the public server into to parts.
A public server and a quality assurance server. Everyone would have access to the QA server, and the QA server would upload all changes to production.
I personally see the benefit, but don't see the problem being completely solved. Does anyone have any advice on this or link to articles or books that might help to set up a secure web server structure?
I'm also curious as to some suggestions on forums really geared towards server hardware discussion. if you know any good ones, please let me know
anyway, here's the situation:
I currently lease my servers. I'm planning on switching to colocation. three primary functions need to be met:
1) web server
2) mysql server
3) mass storage
I'm contemplating the best way to do this. price is a concern but I'm willing to pay more if it's warranted.
would it be a bad idea to have the mass storage and the webserver on the same machine? ie, take the web server box and just throw in a SAS/SATA RAID card and put in the extra disks. it'd obviously save in overhead costs.
if I do put them on one box, should the OS be booting from seperate physical disks from the rest of the storage?
if I don't put them on one box, ie, the web server and the storage server are seperated, what would be the ideal way to connect them? just ethernet/LAN, through a fibre connection, etc?
and that brings me to another question... why does SAS have external adapters if it's not supposed to be used to directly attach the array to more than one box? can it be used this way? is there a reason it shouldn't be?
my clients with getting up some VPS's (around 16 - 24 to start) so he can consolidate some of his servers. Due to his need for windows as well, we'll be going with XEN.
His big thing is to consolidate 4 of his webservers into VM's over seperate boxes (like 1GB ram each) and maybe even VM his SQL box so he can get an MSSQL in there for later on.
My question is: How does the opensource XEN compare performance wise to XenSource ENT? At times he'll need to pull some good network transit (100Mbit+ over the LAN) and we want to make sure it isn't going to lag out or simply just not work.
Does anyone got any benchmarks from using both?
