It's not hard to show performance gains on bare metal hypervisors (ESX, Xen, etc) verses hosted products (Server, Workstation, VirualBox, etc). If you run a whole load of crap on a Linux system then the VMs will obviously suffer, but if the machine is doing nothing but serve up VMs, then there is no measurable difference between ESX and other decent VM systems. People who claim huge differences in performance do contrived comparisons rigged to prove their point.

Therefore, on a machine that serves up VMs only, you will find no difference between ESX, Server, Workstation, Virtualbox, Qemu and others in terms of VM performance. Those features are not free, so that may or may not be relevant to your project manager.ĮSXi is meant to be a "get your feet wet" before purchasing VI Enterprise.Īnything that is doing nothing, doesn't use resources. If you WANT service console-like functionality on ESXi, then that's what the RCLI appliance is for.ĭo you know about vCenter, DRS, HA, etc? If you don't know of these features, then you really haven't seen what ESX/ESXi is for. But thats where virtulisation is going to take over :) My project lead likes it because he doesn't understand KVM or Xen. VERY basic you dont get any decent features. Its really not the way forward using a crap hypervisor! its ok but if you make vm's with all your locked in too much and if you use linux on your desktop you wont be able to manage the server + its even less than ESX its bare metal hypervisor but based of redhat and you have more control esxi is. I keep an XP box under my desk and rdp in to run the ESX client, outlook, and whatever else I'm required to run. The only reason the Unix admins don't have to use it is because management is afraid of us. In every big company I've worked for WinXP is the corporate desktop. You do need a windows box for the ESX client. Between the o/s and VM server, you'll eat close to a GB of ram, plus ram for the vms.

VMware Server runs as an app on top of a full o/s, so there is considerably more overhead. We were able to run as many as 8-10 busy vms on an HP dl145, which is a low end server.

It also offers an easy upgrade path to Virtual Center-which is not free, but imho a good value when you compare the cost of additional hardware, power and cooling for more physical boxes, not to mention the cost of my time setting up the new boxes.ĮSX does appear to be derived from redhat, but it provides a hypervisor that runs directly on the bare metal. ESX offers much better performance because it has less overhead. I think you are overlooking the main differences between ESX and VM Server.

So in practice, it is probably still best to install your favourite Linux distribution with VMware Server or Workstation on top. VMWare ESXi appears to me to be a modified Redhat Linux. FYI.ĭon't believe all the marketing blurbs. I tried loading it on my work XPS 1710 to test before blowing away a server but it didn't satisfy the hardware requirements. VM #3 (Server 2003 / File Print Server)Īll of the VMs are managed remotely from a standalone physical machine, in my case a laptop. At this point you can create Virtual Machines on the ESXi server from this or any other standalone physical machine with the client installed and the ESXi host login information.Ĥ.

You will use a VMWare client on a separate physical machine to gain remote access to the ESXi server. Once you've loaded ESXi, the only thing you'll configure directly on the ESiX host is the network configuration. > ESXi (32Mb) is free and gets the job done in most cases.

> ESX (20Mb) requires a license but offers more advanced options such as iSCSI. But did I miss any points above that someone else caught? So it looks like I'll stay with VMWare server for now.

Also, having the Debian OS lets me do things like software RAID, where ESXi I'm assuming does not. ESXi needs server class hardware, where I normally just build my own servers. Right, I just use SSH/VMWare console, which works beautifully.Ī few other things I'll miss too. I read that you need a Windows machine to load a client to manage the server. I'll probably download a copy just to test and play with. It's backed up just by suspending the VMs overnight, tarring and moving, then resuming. Threw together a Debian box, installed VMWare, and let it fly. The solution, just build your own "poor man's" VMWare Server. Cost was a factor, whereas the robust features of ESX wasn't a concern. In our small network, I needed to consolidate a few servers. A lot of this is just thinking (typing) out loud.
