Virt. Win Server benchmarks - VMWARE vs KVM vs XEN - where are they?

Have you seen Archipel? That looks very slick.

From what I have read, ConVirt and CloudStack are meant to be the most feature complete of the free web frontends. Not sure if that's true or not.

 

Cloud Stack is very good - was testing it for a while before i left running on 4 dl360's with 100gb ram in each. only downside is it requires a dedicated management server (so another physical box not running vms)

I have tried Proxmox here and wasnt that impressed - ran it for a few weeks then binned it for KVM, we have KVM across the board here with oVirt for management.

 

On my workstation (CentOS 5) I am using Xen for testing VM's.

8 years later it seems like everyone's switched to KVM, including AWS and Proxmox.

 

I need to find a spare server and try proxmox again, who doesn't love zfs. Now with encrypted backups!

As no one's been using the IT room I installed Proxmox on 3 machines and made a cluster using Ceph, super easy
