Any idea if VMotion can be added to the free VMWare Standard Edition, and, if so, for how much?

I do know we are looking at doing this very soon. One great point is the fact you can have snapshots of servers when you make a change or upgrade a VM instance you can easily go back to a copy of the old instance. Not to mention with Vmotion you can fail over to another VM or even Motion an instance to another server if the server has problems. A great tool!! Cant wait to have it up and running!!

I could see people using VM Servers in a production enviroment, mostly because you now have a hardware agnostic OS and software install. So while you see 1 point of failure, someone else sees a way to easily move their production server to new hardware if their old hardware fails. Even if you only run one server on the VM server you could still get the benefit of the hardware agnostic OS. Each VM or Microsoft Virtual Server run as though it were a machine on the OS. So you wouldn't need to cluster the VM, you can run clustering as though they were different machines. I don't know if there is a clustering options for the VMWare or Microsoft, not sure if it's even needed.
