Thanks guys for keeping this topic alive. =) I'm leaning towards the opensource or at least the Xen side of things. I haven't yet fully evaluated vCloud Director but I get the gut feeling that anything "VMware" is going to be costly.
Is that a fair assumption? The issue is that I'm looking for an application that is as turnkey as possible, even if it's a little bit more. That "could" be vCloud Director, I don't know yet.... But I do know that if we have to invest in writing a lot of custom scripts to get what we want, then we don't have the resources for that.... > Subject: Re: OT: VM slicing and dicing > From: nderitua...@gmail.com > To: brandon....@brandontek.com > CC: nanog@nanog.org > Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 23:00:52 +0300 > > Brandon, > It really depends on the hypervisor in operation.
