Ditching VMware over the Broadcom buy? Here are some of your options

Re: Is xen still a thing?

The Xen hypervisor is still alive under the auspices of XCP-ng, and combined with Xen Orchestra appears to be pretty much at feature parity with our current small VMware + vCenter server deployment. We'll be evaluating it as a replacement over the next few months as we're due a hardware refresh.

Re: So now ARM is suddenly a national treasure?

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is already in Cambridge so fair exchange... Although technically Harvard is also Cambridge University :-/

Ubiquiti, go write on the board 100 times, 'I must validate input data before using it'... Update silently breaks IDS/IPS

Re: Business as Usual

That's a little harsh, they've added a whole augmented reality rack view so you don't even have to look at the management console to see what's plugged into your switches.

It's not like anyone actually uses layer 3 in production?
