How can VMware VI3 servers be clustered?
I want to Cluster 2 ESX VI3 Servers. Should I use Veritas Cluster for ESX or VMware HA? I am told that VMware HA does not protect from individual VM failures whereas veritas does.

ESX Hardware configuration
I am interested in bringing up an ESX Server to learn more. I have tried the Evals and am now willing to purchase the product. I have no need to purchase high-end hardware as there will be very few users. Does anyone have a specific hardware list (m/b model, etc)? Thanks in advance

Which are better, blades or virtual servers?
The cost of blades seems higher and the highly proprietary nature of blades seems to make it much less attractive. So is it better to virtualize blades or rack mounted servers? How do they compare in terms of power, HVAC, floorspace, racks and software costs?

Comparing VM performance to physical servers
How much performance loss is attributed to virtual machines (VMs) compared to stand alone servers? A VM server cannot be lossless because the VM software itself should consume some hardware resources.
