does data's "mission critical" status give you pause in moving over? - Absolutely. But that said, moving to the cloud is not simply a technical decision. Its a business decision. Technically, the move to the cloud is easy. Pick a fairly reliable vendor, put in SLA requirements and test out the...
It should just just slightly more. There will be the one second of CPU time, plus the tiny bit of overhead which it takes for the host to control the guest during that one second.
You should protect your Citrix environment the same way you protect any end client device on your network. Although it is very unlikely that an infected client using a Citrix session could directly infect the Citrix server, it is possible that the Citrix server may have a vulnerability that needs...
Ok for redeem my points now
The ESX server has a virtual switch network built in. Once you connect the host server to the network and there is a DHCP server available, your virtual machines will pick up the DHCP address from your DHCP server.
You could install VMware ESX, or ESXi or Hyper-V or any other the other virtualization packages, although those two are the most popular.

Absolutely I would consider moving old as hell servers into a VM to keep the status quo a good reason to do so (and I have done so in the past). I've moved machines that were getting close to 10 years old running Windows NT 4 and SQL 6.5 into a VM so they would run for ever after enough fans in...
That all depends on the block size of the host volume. When set at its largest, the largest virtual disk you can present is 2 TB which is the largest volume size that most OSs can address anyway. - This is a good document for VI3.5...

There are various backup players that work with VMware. You can look at Vizioncore's vRanger Pro and ESXPress. You can also integrate it with your existing backup software like Netbackup or Legato. Both products are reliable.
Virtualization does save money. A fast ROI and low future maintenance costs really make virtualization worth while. There are no technical shortcomings outside of putting more eggs in one basket which Vmotion addresses.

Make sure your primary DNS server for the domain is specified in TCP/IP settings on your new server.
The answer depends on the type of applications running on those machines. There is no way to really tell until you run benchmark tests on a loaded server. Taking advantage of memory overcommit, you can allocate more than 128 GB of ram to your virtual machines. You also need to consider ESX...
Jenny - Couldn't load my profile picture. I'm new today and have tried several times. May try again later tonight. Scot
Have you contacted Acronis support about this? They have a program that will allow you to restore that image to any given hardware - possible an app to do specifically what you're looking for. Kevin - the image that Acronis speaks of is a "ghost" copy of the orginal hard drive so all I have at...

Open the vSphere Client and connect to the ESXi host. On the configuration tab select Storage Adapters and make sure that the SATA card shows up. Then click on the Storage section and click Add Storage in the top right. This will walk you through adding those disks as Storage Volumes. As they...
