We are embarking on a process to determine how/if we can transition our current server environment to a virtual server environment.

Has anyone used QuorumSoft’s Alike software for Citrix? I’ve tried their free version but am wondering how it compares to others on the market.
I wonder if someone might point me at something that illustrates the additional problems of securing something like VMWare? Assuming that all servers are maintained with firewalls, AV etc, that they are properly administered by a minimum number of staff and that that same minimum number have control over the virtual infrastructure itself then where [...]
We are interested in being able to allocate costs for vm’s back to cost centers. We use some vmware esx and xenserver in limited instances. Are there any third party tools out there that can take usage data from both of these platforms to give us one consolidated view of utilization - time and cpu.
when installing xenserver i am running into this installation error “Base [em]installation[/em] repository was not found at that location” anyone else have this problem.

What will be the consequences if hardware failure occurs when VMs are running on a server? what will be the VM status? whether we will loose the data or not? There may be a xen-motion , but when the server crashes , what will be the status of the VM’s running on that server ?
