Hi Lawrence,

I'm a huge fan of VMWare and virtualization in general.  We
run a six 
server farm of VMWare ESX here in IS&T.  On a Dell 1855
blade, we run 
about 15-20 instances of difference x86 OSes, including
Windows and 
Linux.  IMHO, VMWare's product is far superior to any on
the market, 
including Microsoft's Virtual Server.  Product support has
been 
excellent as well.  ESX even lets you move VMs from one host
server to 
another live (via a process called VMotion).  I don't know
of any other 
product that can do that.

If you don't want to run your own virtual infrastructure,
you can 
purchase VM instances from us.  Contact me if you are
interested.

Thanks,

John
