Haha. What's all this 'new' talk about running Virtual Servers? We've had that in operation for years now: Windows Server for Small Business. ;)

To most folks that work with servers and storage on a regular basis, virtualization is a familiar concept.

Fred: Thanks for the feedback... a couple of weeks ago, we transitioned to a new video player that uses Flash as the desfault... but, more importantly to you, the new player allows you to download each of the vlogs in Ogg Theora. You can access the Ogg Theora file of this clip here.

I second the vote for making the video available in an open, universal format instead of a dumb ole windows format. It's trivially easy to do so and it will reach more site visitors. Unless you think only windows users matter.

How do you feel about virtualization and Dell's position in light of the fact that Dell cannot even provide decent customer and hardware support at the most basic level without messing it up?

I'm looking for a head-to-head comparison of VMWare and Xen... what, exactly, is the difference between them, what capabilities does each have that the other does not, when and why I would want to use one vs. the other, etc.

Please make the video available as Ogg Theora file so that Linux users are not excluded. Thank you.

Hi.

I'd just like to stop the incorrect impression that VMware ESX server is based on linux.
The VMkernel (which is the small optimized OS or Hypervisor) is entirely properitary,
othervise it would be a violation of the Linux GPL license.
VMware actually license Red Hat Enterprise Linux
and run it as a virtual machine for the management of the VMkernel,
which has no user interface.
This is the reason people conclude ESX is based on linux while it's not,
as they see a linux command line when the log on to manage their esx server.
