Hi all,

Perhaps somebody can explain something to me....

I've been using XEN (both full and para) for quite some years now, with
several types of dom-u guest-os'es.
So all the clients i build, are XEN-images.

However. now-and-then a co-worker comes to me with a vmware-client, that
they used to have running on a ESX-server, that apperently runs under
RH.

Can i also run these images on a SuSE-machine?
On the OBS, in the home directories of frispete: and worldcitizen
i detected things like :
home:/frispete:/vmware-server-compat/openSUSE_11.1_Update/x86_64/vmware-server-compat-1.0.9-7.5.x86_64.rpm

I would rather consolidate my patforms to SuSE, either open or sles, if
possible.

If one virtualisation platform is better equiped for some jobs then
others, so be it. But in that case i would like to know what the
advantages are of vmware.

Any info/comparisons concerning:
- stability
- number of clients
- network-throughput
- disk-throughput
- hardware delegation towards virtual clients (usb, pci)

I don't mind spending, but it should be based of facts, not on personal
preferences or from historical backgrounds....


Hope To Hear, hans
