Vmware ESXi is free of cost (just registration) and it's a offshoot of the Current vSphere so it's a OS on it's own, 100% better than the server product, id try that 1st
-----Original Message----- From: Richard Stovall [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 9:18 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Dell poweredge server problems with VMWARE In my experience VMWare Server is a DOG (performance-wise) compared to ESX (now vSphere). I haven't used ESXi, so I can't comment on that. I would definitely try on vSphere or ESXi if your intended deployment can be changed to either of those options. If cost is a concern, have you tried Hyper-v or Virtual Server 2005 instead of VMWare Server? There is a tool out there to add a GUI front end to manage VS 2005.
