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?
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
How is it possible to monitor the data used (in and out) for each node in XenServer?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
I am going to be sending a 2U server in for colocation. It will be running CentOS 5 64bit at the core and be utilizing VMware for virtual machines.
If I get say 8 ( 5 usable ) IPs as apart of my colocation plan, how can I delegate which IPs goto which virtual machine?
my friend install VMware on his server to run vps, it looks likely interesting, do you use VMware to offer vps?

View 14 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone here use VMware server on a dedicated server to run Windows or other OS? And in terms of IP address how would this work? Do you need to set the VM as being NATed, or does it have it's own external IP? In terms of performance on a typical 100$-200$/mo dedicated server, how good is it? All these factors depend on a lot of things and I realize that, though. (what apps run, etc)
And do server providers even allow to install something like this? I've never leased a dedicated server before but I'm thinking of getting a linux one, but also running a windows VM for a RunUO server, and unfortunately that only runs in windows. I want a linux server as I prefer LAMP for hosting, and I'd try to get a few clients on the server just so I can pay it off monthly. Also Linux servers are generally cheaper monthly and I like the idea of using SSH tunnels rather then straight RDP, which gives me chills just thinking of, from a security perspective.
I'm curious if there are any providers out there providing VMWare hosting per instance? Where I could just upload a VM and pay to host that VM?

Does anyone use vmware to host vps?
View 8 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone think this is feasable? For instance, we all see web servers hosted in the "cloud", as well as pay per user exchange and other mail servers.
Now, what if I wanted to host all my servers (web, email, file, domain controller, and several application servers) at a data center using Vmware.
I did some research and found out that the cost of creating a private cloud (VMWARE licensing alone) would be prohibitive. Is there a way to rent/lease a "private cloud"? Or perhaps I would not even mind if we shared space with others on the server(s) on a "public cloud".
Any ideas on if VPS (or other types of) hosters that could provide this service?
I'm not sure how many people here use VMWare, but I'll give this question a shot... I'm looking for a solution similar to Winrar that can view the contents of the .vmdk file. Either to extract any files, or just view the contents without having the have the virtual machine online. I checked Google as well as VMWare's forums/website with no avail.

Which VmWare product allows me officially to use it for VPS hosting business (ESXi does not allow that)? Do you have a link to document where they specifically authorize use of their software to make and sell VPS? Are there any legal limitations? What about vSphere standard?
What about Xen, what are limitations of free version? Which payed version is best for VPS hosting, are there any legal limitations?

I have a need for a server outside of our network to run vmware 3i. A multi core server with 1 80 gig hd and some where around 2gigs of ram would be just want we need for our intended use.
anyone care to throw some prices my way?
Oh and i have the vmware 3i license and media which i can upload to you and get the entire process started.
My server runs windows 2003 St SP2 . and it has 2 physical network cards
My data center provided me with 5 IPs .
I have setup VMware server V 1.0.3
I installed Centos under the virtual machine using NAT and DHCP , The guest runs with now problem but it uses local ip which means it is only accessible from the server desktop itself.
I want to make this guest use one of my 5 IPs, I understand that I have to use bridged network not NATing . but the problem is that I'm not able to configure the VMware to use bridged . and when I try ( bridged + static IP for the guest ) the virtual machine cannot download files nor I can access it from outside
any VPS resellers that are using VMWare ESXi as their platform for their hosting plans?
Also, if anyone is familiar with VMWare, I am curious as to what you think of these hardware specifications and how many Linux based CentOS VMs I can comfortably run on this hardware:
Processor:AMD Opteron Quad-Core 1352 Barcelona 2.1GHz
Motherboard:Tyan S2925G2NR AM2 nVidia nForce 3400 ATX n3400B
Memory/RAM:Kingston 1GB 240Pin DDR2800 ECC Unbuffered
RAID Card:Adaptec AAR-2610SA 6Port SATA 64MB RAM
Hard Drive 1:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
Hard Drive 2:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
Hard Drive 3:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
Hard Drive 4:Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA
There would be two RAID1's in a RAID10 configuration for the storage.
Not having the hardware available to install common OS such as CentOS and FreeBSD so I can learn how to configure them correctly for the web.
I was wondering if the same goal can be archived with VMware and virtualisation.
i want to buy a powerful vps to run vmware workstation on it..i want to run about 2 or 3 operating systems on it...but i want each operating system to have specific unique ip ...if i ordered additional ips from host will it work? or i have to buy expensive VPNs? and what is the best powerful medium priced windows vps?

View 7 Replies View Relatedim thinking of trying out virtualization, but before I start investing in a serious server for it I like some experience with a testserver.
but what do you recommend? VMware, virtuozzo or something else?
what are the pros/cons with the VMware/virtuozzo? and what are your experiences?
Do any company at all have vmware hosting?
I want vmware for easy moving from test server to real server.
I have a windows VMWare box (host is win2003 OS) it has a few guest 2003 servers running. the host OS does not have IIS installed its IP is 10.0.0.5 one of the guest 2003 servers (IP 10.0.0.6) has IIS.I issued temp SSL from the IIS console with the setting for all unassigned and get a trusted root SSL installed on it. Now when I got to the server by IP address, I get a warning that it is not matching the domain, however I see the right trusted SSL installed. however, if I go to the server with the FQDN, I see a warning message that it does not match the name and the certificate is showing that it was issued by the temp SSL from IP 10.0.0.5 which is the ip of the host OS not the guest.
I deleted the certificate and set the website on IIS to have 10.0.0.6 as the IP of the website and created the SSL and got the trusted certificate reissued from the new CSR but it is still showing cerificate issued from the 10.0.0.5 and I cannot clear it.
it is driving me crazy. I went through the MMC for the installed certificate on the guest OS and did not see it there..... have you seen this before.
what is driving me nut is how it picked up the IP of the host OS and not the guest and why it is not clearing out when I clear the SSL completely from teh website setting, it still listens on port 443
