[NTLUG:Discuss] VMware ESXi or Xen?

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

I am thinking of starting to set up virutal machines
for customers on shared servers.  These will mostly
be used for web and database servers.

>From my limited investigations so far, I can see
two main products available for free:
1. The Xen kernel distributed with CentOS 5.3
2. VMware ESXi server

It looks like both support paravirtualized Linux
guests, Windows server, etc.

Any opinions on the pros/cons of each?

Thanks,
	Neil
