OK, so it’s still my old jeep (‘93 Jeep Wrangler), but it sure feels new! My brother bought it brand new in ‘93, and I bought it from him five years ago when he and his family were heading over seas. I replaced the the top when I got it, and after five years, it’s [...]

If you’re like me, then you have a separate, backup copy of your images and VM files so that if something happens to your VMware Server/ESXi Server or your storage of choice where your production vm files are stored, you can quickly move them from your backup location to a new vm server while you [...]

I really like the Virtual Infrastructure Client. If you are using ESX (the paid version), then you are already using this.
I mentioned in my post [...]

Anyone running Microsoft’s WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) as a Virtual Server. I was leaning toward physical during early planning, but now more toward virtual. I found this forum with network environments much larger than we are saying they are running it without any trouble.

Here’s a good demo of VMware Infrastructure 3. The features they go over are mostly paid features. But, it’s a good overview of VMware Virtualization if you are not familiar with VMware (or would like to see more of the paid features).

I’m getting ready to download this Free VMware Hypervisor to start testing it this week! If you are not working with virtualization, I highly recommend you download either VMware ESXi, or VMware Server (which runs on top of Windows).
I was able to see VMware first hand with many of our Church IT friends at [...]
