RedHat Xen vs VMware
Hello,
I need to make a quick decision between redhat xen and vmware. The servers that need to be virtualized are mostly windows and run core business services. There are a few linux boxes as well.
My first thought was Xen but last time I tried it on RedHat 5 (our distro of choice) Windows was horribly slow and hardly worked.
I would like to know if RedHat 5.2 brings anything new to the table for windows guests?
If anyone has any experience with xen / vmware some feedback would be welcome.
All the best,
Marius
