Here’s a video I found of the ESXi installation, literally beginning to end in less than seven minutes. If you haven’t had a chance to test ESXi yet, here’s a glimpse at what to expect…

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 mentioned in my post [...]

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 [...]

Looking for a conference to learn a little more about VMWare and Virtualization? Check out the VMWare Virtualization Forum 2008. They probably have one coming near you!
