I've used it at work for production servers ( MSSQL, Exchange, ... )  and it
works like a charm.  We're moving to MS Hyper-V starting in Feb 09, not my
decision, and VMWare has always seemed to perform better than MS in the
Virtualization realm.

That being said, I've never done it with game servers, I have run plenty
test boxes from within the GSX tho.  Never had any issues there.  ESX would
be a better option IMO than the GSX.

-> Hi,
-> 
-> Is there anyone who has experience with running gameservers on an OS
which
-> is installed on top of a VMware ESX install?
-> 
-> If so, could you tell something about the performance (loss?) etc.
-> 
-> We're thinking of installing VMware ESX on a new machine so we can run
-> win2k3 and Debian etch side by side as some games don't have Linux
support
-> straight away, in that case we could fall back on windows if there is no
-> significant performance loss.
