Commented on vMotion is a valuable feature and it's not hardware-dependent, but the web client could be better.

VMware has a virtual viewer, its been there for years.. it used to be an appliance now its an app on google \ iOS. I use it, so you have access.

Commented on I'm able to save space by running multiple Operating Systems and Services on only one physical device, but I wish importing/exporting were more robust and more user-friendly.

IT *IS* free there is a completely free version of Hyper-V.. available KVM is horrible, VMware workstation or Oracle Virtual box would be MUCH better.. virt-manager is just a bad manager of virtual machines. Also Hyper-V storage can use whatever Windows can use, so it's…

Commented on We've moved our secondary products to a virtualized environment. The web client in version 6.0, though, is inferior to the Windows client.

Different is right but having a 'fat' client means more support and work for VMware, would rather than concentrate on hosting than client software. A Web site means that Linux, MAC and non-windows based shops can use the client as well Making people use windows to…

Commented on KVM allows me to run virtualized environments for my customer projects and to modify the code as it's open-source, although there were stability issues when running I/O intensive tasks.

There are 2 types, Type 1 and Type 2. The only type 1 hyper visors are ESX and Hyper-V that is

-You can't be serious? Virtual Box is a typical "let's start a VM on my desktop" product, but far away from enterprise virtualization - Yeah spoken like someone that has a very rudimentary understanding of hyper-visors.. There are 2 types, Type 1 and Type 2. The only…

Commented on It's increased our disaster recover abilities, although it could improve on the heterogeneous management of disparate hypervisors.

Elaborated on the management functionality, it's way ahead of Hyper-V or Virt manager for XEN\KVM, it's not a perfect solution but better than pretty much everything else.

>>Although It Could Improve On The Heterogeneous Management Of Disparate Hypervisors<< Care to elaborate? I know its not perfect, but its way ahead of Hyper-V and Virt manager for KVM\XEN..

Commented on It allows the recreation of an entire network including multiple subnets, but the addition of a built-in virtual router would be good.

I prefer virtual box myself. Workstation is not free, corporate environments technically are supposed to BUY a license. Recently I installed Workstation, it has a memory leak. After a few hours running 1 VM, my OS started thrashing and I saw the pagefile was growing…

Sorry but I have been doing VM administration for 10 years almost, and KVM is not as mature as Hyper-V, VMware Workstation or Virtual Box Virtualbox is Oracle, KVM is community supported, it's very generic.. For one KVM, in contrast, doesn't have any official management…

What's wrong with VirtualBox? KVM \ Xen are a bit more complicated, less user friendly and way behind in 3rd party support

Commented on We've used it to move 80% of our servers to a virtual environment, but it lacks a good built-in backup feature.

OK again, Backup is NOT included, it's an ADD ON, it's only available for Entperrise Plus license and higher, so it's not available with every product of vSphere certainly not integrated. And if you say VDPA (formerly VDR) is a "decent" product you must not have much…

Not only what Andrew says, which is correct, but NO product includes a backup feature.. phones, MS Hyper-V, Windows, Linux.. nothing has a backup function built-in.. it's not part of ANY system inclusive.. Should be be a part of any solution given that backup is a pure…
