It is possible to use Parallels off of your cell phone.

I was under the impression that Microsoft is getting everyone on board with Hyper-v with the intent to charge for licensing later. However, that doesn't sound very Microsoft like. They like to include elements into their OS's that their competition charge for. Do you know if MS plans on charging licensing fees for Hyper-v or just on the OS's themselves? How about Linux support? As far as I know, Hyper-v only supports Redhat Enterprise and SuSe while VMWare supports most distros out there. I…

I am using Xen for a very simple application: I was given two identical servers with 16GB RAM to set up a primary and backup server for an application that only supports 32-bit Linux at the moment. I run the application on a 32-bit Xen DomainU and the back-end PostgreSQL database on the 64-bit Domain0, to try to get some use out of the extra power. I've been looking into OpenVZ as another way to do this, but as long as Xen keeps working I may leave it alone.<br />

I am using Xen for a very simple application: I was given two identical servers with 16GB RAM to set up a primary and backup server for an application that only supports 32-bit Linux at the moment.

<br />
I am also replicating the database and DomainU storage to the backup server using <a href="http://www.drbd.org" target="_blank">DRBD</a>. Using a virtual machine for the application simplifies this, because it never knows it is running on a different physical server, and does not need a new license key in the case of failover. I was thinking of adding something like Heartbeat to handle failover, but I need some time to experiment with it and none of this is my main job...<br />
<br />
FWIW, I also use Virtualbox on my Red Hat desktop to play with the Windows 7 RC and to try various new Linux distros, and I use VMware Fusion on my Macbook Pro at home. (Choice of Fusion over Parallels was easy: I was a part-time grad student at the time, and I picked up a free activation code at a VMware recruitment meeting on campus. Of course, if you're that cheap, there's also Virtualbox for Mac now.)<br />

With Microsoft licensing scheme now clearly defined in virtual environments expect Hyper-V to become a big player as well, they easily beat VMware on price. With that said, VMware still has the most features and is the most mature of all them. If I am an enterprise, VMware is the way I would go. In up front costs Hyper-V is the clear winner. But when taking into account when things go wrong or maintenance I would go with VMware.<br/><br/>For those few that need raw performance Xen is the way to go.<br/><br/>For the Mac I prefer Fusion to Parallels.</div>
