I was in the market for a new Laptop, given that mine is at least 3 years old and starting to show its age with non-working USB ports, one blown power supply, and failing batteries. My requirements are slightly above the average: Any laptop must be able to run the following at the same time within a hosted virtualization solution such as VMware Workstation or Fusion.

VMware has released VMware vSphere 5, the latest version of it flagship virtualisation platform, saying it comes with almost 200 new and enhanced capabilities. VMware also announced new versions of other key virtualisation tools: VMware vShield 5, VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5, and VMware vCloud Director 1.5.

We have recently bought a "white box" server to run VMware ESXi 5.0 (we're planning to use the vSphere 5 Essentials Kit). According to VMware's Compatibility Guide, the server's LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i RAID controller is compatible (support type listed as "inbox").

I've got as far as installing ESXi 5.0 on the host, and I've also installed the vCenter Server Appliance.

VMware announced a new version of its Linux-compatible VMware Workstation 8 software, designed to make it easier to build, share, and upload virtual machines (VMs) to cloud environments.

I am looking at turning my old Dell 2650 and 2950 servers into Vmware vSphere Servers, however vSphere is very very expensive.

Is there an open source alternative that provides the same performance as vSphere in a Ubuntu or Debian distro? I dont actually mean "Virtual box" or "Vmware player" but rather a server hypervisor that is easy to set up and host virtual machines on my network?

I hope this is the correct StackExchange, since I am only using StackOverflow for Web development, but need some help with my server configuration.

I would like to install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 on my server here at home and run a view machines on it such as Windows Server 2008 and Red Hat.

When it comes to VMware (NYSE: VMW), channel partners typically think big –as in big data centers, big virtualization projects and big cloud build-outs. But VMware is reminding partners not to overlook opportunities in the small and midsize business (SMB) market. That’s where VMware vSphere 5.1 solutions enter the picture.

Which VMWare should I choose? 31 weeks 6 days ago

I'm new to VMWare stuff. What I need to do is pretty basic: Just to install two different Windows 2008 versions on a server with 2x 4core CPU and 2x 3TB hard disks.

I asked my datacenter to install the free version (VMware ESXi 4.1) but apparently it did not recognize 3TB disks. Now I'm wondering whether VMWare 5 can handle 3TB disks, and if so, what variant?

I am running two Windows 2008 Server on a VMware ESXi 5 Server (VMware vSphere 5 Essentials Kit). There are two different ESXi hosts within my VMware datacenter environment. Let us call them esxserver1 and esxserver2.
