What is your thoughts on Hyper-V vs VMWare. To be honest, I'm more comfortable in a windows environment. Almost all my VMs are windows OSs at the moment. I do have a couple of Ubuntu servers running. Be interested in why you went Hyper-V over VMWare? I think VMWare has the larger market share.

I know we do that with native Hyper-V and it always seem strange to me that if you are running Microsoft VM's you have to purchase Microsoft Datacenter licenses and VMWARE, but I understand some applications are only supported under VMWARE. That being said we use altaro for unattended backups (Microsoft and Linux) and they have a VMWARE version you might want to check out.
Good Luck,

Subject: [AFMUG] VMWare
We had a slight electric issue yesterday. Messed up some of our
VM servers. I got things rigged back together, but I need to build a more
robust VM system.
I'm look to move into the VMWare world. I think Vmware Vsphere
Essentials Plus is the route I need to go. I may be able to get away
with just Essentials, but the extra tools may help.
Any thoughts on setup. Currently we run RAID10 on each VM Host and
backup to a NAS. I'm thinking I'll keep that setup for the VMWare.
If I get Essentials Plus will I be able to to HOT backups of running
VMs or is that a third party thing?
