http://serverfault.com – I'm looking to extend my knowledge of vSphere 4 specifically in regards to automation. We have ex-VMware employees here at my company and they've said VMware training is pretty basic and not worth the time. Can anyone recommend any training programs or books for higher than entry level. I realize that's vague but I've used VMware for a number of years but I'd like to dig into best practices for automation and capacity planning. (HowTos)

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?

Automated host deployment, revamped HA, large-scale VM support, and storage automation features rev up vSphere for big shops

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?

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.

I have installed VMWare ESXi 5.1 on a Whitebox recently to use it as a home lab, even though I have a very little knowledge about VMware ESXi and vSphere, but I found that it is most suitable virtualization platform for my lab.

Performance management specialist Riverbed Technology (NASDAQ: RVBD) and virtualization giant VMware (NYSE: VMW) announced the latest step in their partnership to help enterprises move to the cloud with Riverbed wide area network (WAN) optimization solutions, which accelerate virtual machines (VMs) moving between clouds — private, public and hybrid — using VMware vCloud Connector.
