I've only played with ESXi. My needs, so far, have been to consolidate low usage servers to one box to save on energy costs, and to save purchasing new servers. I don't have to worry about fail-over, or even "off-server" storage.
ESXi installs very easily, and works just great for me. Mark -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.

Greetings, List. There are so many available Virtual Server solutions available now, and it's time for us to look at moving from our current VMWare 1.0 server solution. As our budget has been greatly reduced, we are currently looking at the free products: VMWare Server 2.0 ESXi XenServer Hyper-V Any others I've missed. I'm wondering if anybody can vouch for or against any of these products, and express any useful experiences you've had.
