Hi all,
I’m curious how many of us are currently using virtualization in our environments and of those, what Hypervisors are you running? There’s a few companies that I’m looking at for sponsors and wanted to see how interested you all would be or if you’re pretty settled in on it already.
As for myself, in our environment we depend pretty heavily on virtualization and currently use VMware for our Hypervisor across a handful of hosts. I was initially struggling with visibility into the virtualization environment and was also briefly considering other Hypervisors.
Most everything we virtualize is servers but we do have a few workstation level guests as well. No VDI yet here.
How about you?

Nearly everything in our environment is virtualized. Using Debian Linux with KVM hypervisor on the hosts. We have some guests that are workstation level that are accessed through RDP.

tstafford,
Is your KVM deployment a “home brew” type setup or is it managed and deployed via some other tool or packaging such as Scale Computing?

It’s Debian with KVM using libvirt and virt-manager for management. So everything is available through the debian repos. The only custom things I have are backup scripts.

Wow… Missed this…
VMWare here but all local storage instead of a SAN / Centralized storage interesting how much you can save by not doing a SAN / NAS setup.
Do have a NAS that I use for backups but its not Enterprise at all but does what is needed and is pretty quick.
No VDI - probably won’t go down that rabbit hold of MS Licensing nightmares…
- Remote access for engineering level users is what I’m interested in…
– RDP/LMI/TeamViewer all work but suck for any real dedicated work - remote support great but not actually working
Terminal / Xen Servers are looking really good, interesting ideas on streaming applications - just how does the licensing work when you have to purchase…
Someone recently said CitrixXen is free? I thought there were two now Xen (Free/GNU) & CitrixXen (NotFree)
