Come on auntie, rid us of James

... and give us HD.

In fact, if you do employ that useless plonker, I'll stop paying my license fee.

Microsoft counters VMware insanity with optimistic frown

It's the patching / VMotion issue

For me the problem lies with the lack of VMotion capabilities.

I am reliably informed that VM migrations on Windows virtualisation will require 4 seconds of downtime with ALL TCP connections being reset.

This coupled with the patching of the Windows OS (even with server core) will mean agrovation for me.

With VMware I can perform rolling upgrades, migrating machines from one host to another without having to notify the end users.

Until they get that sorted I will not deploy veridian.

PS yes, veridian can support non MS operating systems.
