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.
Does 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've been investigating and testing Xen for a few months in order to add Xen VPS to the hosting services I have available. With the recent news re: VMware Server, and my experience with VMware, I've started to look, and easily prefer, using this product over Xen. Has anyone else started to look at it as a possible alternative for hosting purposes?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a DNS server in another datacenter and I'm considering moving my own website to that server, so we'll be online and can receive e-mails when the network is down.
We are considering making 2 virtual machines on that server. 1 for Secundary DNS and 1 for Plesk-hosting for the homepage. Both cannot be on the same server if we wanted to, because they conflict.
SuperMicro Server, Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, 3GB, 2x80GB RAID(1) for hosting 2 Virtual Machines on VMWare Server 2, CentOS 5. One of which with Plesk.
Can I expect a 100% uptime with low load? I am not planning to increase capacity requirements on the server as no additional sites/services with be hosted.
A friend of mine is looking to develop a pretty extensive and complex website and would like to be able to use something similar to VMWare server, but doesn't want to be locked into VMware and needing to find a small fortune just to build out his application should either VMware start charging for VMware Server or having to move up to one of their high-end high-cost solutions.
I know with Virtuozzo the licensing fees are reasonably low, but does anyone have any experience using it outside of the hosting industry?
Does the software lend itself well to being used by a single client who is not using it to sell VPSs?
I'm have installed windows 2003 on a VMware installation as a virutal server. Now it's time to set up my customers home pages but i don't know what way that will be the best. What option do you think is the best?
1. Make a new partion inside the virutal mashine.
2. Install another virutal mashine as a file server and mount efterything from UNC network.
I want to do 2-3 Deki Wiki installs, each on their own domain. This is the Deki Wiki install page that contains details about their installs:

I have HostGator reseller hosting now, and am very pleased with it. But, their setup does not allow me to install VMWare or root installations. This is the message I received from HostGator support:
Dear Customer,
We do not allow VMWare installation on our reseller servers, and do not support it (although it is allowed) on dedicated servers. In this case, you would need to go with the CentOS option, which is the operating system we run. However, according to the install information at http://wiki.mindtouch.com/Official_M...e_Installation we cannot allow this installation on our reseller servers.
This product requires mono and requires the installation of the deki wiki at the server root, neither of which we allow on reseller machines.
The only option to run Deki Wiki is to upgrade to a dedicated server solution.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
I am looking for a very low-cost way to do this, not a dedicated server. Please post if you know of a host. Cpanel is preferred but not required if you have something equally user-friendly. If you know of one who offers free installation of Deki Wiki, that would be an added plus. I am looking to host at least 2 and maybe more domains in the future.
Is there also a subforum where I can post an RFP and receive offers?
I know ESXi free can't be used in a hosting environment but what about the smb edition?

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.
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?
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?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'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.

I have a VPS vmware 1.x and install Plesk 7.5.4 on it.

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.
