To my understanding, i take a clean box, no OS installed, and boot this clean server with ESXi and setup networking paramters and such. Then from my management stations, or VI client, i installthe VMware client management package and manage this server from my workstation ? How would i go about installing new OS's to this server? As far as licensing, would it be per user or per server ? Does ESX support vlanning inside the VM host ?
Thanks everyone
What is particularly interesting is that they are not limiting the scalability of the free version, from their web site:
4-Way Virtual SMP. Enable a single virtual machine to use up to four physical processors simultaneously. VMware ESXi extends this unique feature from two to four processors. With 4-way Virtual SMP even the most processor intensive software applications like databases and messaging servers can be virtualized.
64GB RAM for virtual machines. Run the most memory-intensive workloads in virtual machines with a memory limit extended to 64GB.
Support for up to 128 powered-on virtual machines. Take advantage of very large server systems for enterprise-class server consolidation and containment with support for up to 128 powered powered on virtual machines on a single server.
I wonder if Citrix will respond by opening up the RAM limits on XEN Express???
