VM server sharing (OT)

2009-05-27 Thread Kelly Jones
Has anyone setup a VM server sharing arrangement, whereby I run some
of their vmdk files on my VM server, and they run some of my vmdk
files on their VM server?

VM servers are great, but if the whole server (or its network) goes
down, there's no redundancy. VM server sharing would allow people to
clone their production servers w/ network/geographic diversity.

Interesting idea, however there is a lot of security risk here (credit
card number for customers, private internal corporate data, etc).

Any thoughts on how such data could be kept secure?
