ESXi Setup!

That is a very valid reason actually. Though I would have expected for such a trial based experiment, TS would not have needed to spend too much on 16G or ram & 6 cores processor. Probably 8G ram & a quad core is more than suffices.

I did VM Ware on my ubuntu running with 2 cores & 2G of ram. I had fedora & windows installed on the server. They all work out fine except for the graphic department, which is much needed on a standalone pc but not possible on the VM environment. So, in the end, I just disassemble them instead of taking up disk space. In ubuntu, my fiend uses virtualbox to do the same, which is pretty easy also, again for experiment purpose.

To learn, to simulate and to integrate IT environments using x86 virtulization

Well I got the extra space for the matx rig and ram prices are cheap, my chip and mobo is 2nd hand from the bros here, y not

Well, for server virtualization compared to host-based virtualization is really different things, but your point is valid too

it doesnt hurt that much to get a 2nd hand parts with cheap ram nowadays lol

anyway someone contacted me and ask me where to get a intel nic card in singapore, try video pro.. but you have to pay abit more than linke 70 - 80 i think..

linke is around 57 after shipping

Greentea81 interested to get one?

Actually, there is no need to get Intel nic to do virtualization.

I ran ubuntu with VMWare & have fedora & windows as the virtual machines. Ubuntu can identify most NIC you can find in the market & so your virtual machine will just use them. If you want high bandwidth, add as many gigabit nic as you have PCI slots. That should do the trick.

I am not sure why you are not installing VMWare in your windows? Has there been some policy or implementation change with VMWare? The above was done couple years back. May be they don't allow it on windows any more & one must install ESXi?

Even if VMWare policy changed such that you cannot install on your windows. One can always ditch VMWare & user VirtualBox in ubuntu.

While Intel NIC's do provide superior performance, your mum probably will not complain if you don't get the top performance from your home based VM server.

personal preference, no one here says you cannot use virtualbox or vmware desktop edition,as i said, for hobby and learning, these are quite idiot proof, running next all the way for installation and managing.

I personally tried virtualbox and vmware workstation, but i dun like the way it take my resources when i want to game,hence built a matx rig so i can run anything from there.

does that ans your question?

Dun know how to use ubuntu.

Host-based(type 2) virtualization is still slower than type 1 hypervisor. The reason why they are interested in Intel NIC is not because of bandwidth.

Its because ESXi specifically supports only certain models of NICs. Then again host-based virtualization like VMware server, Virtualbox has support for most hardware since its managed by the Host OS already.

ESXi and VMware server are different product. ESXi is intended to run on server hardware directly while VMware Server is intended to run on top of host based ie Windows or Linux OS.

It's also not about adding more NICs and so. There is always the bottleneck ; more CPU cycles consumed when more NICs are placed; which is why Intel NICs or server-grade NICs with CPU Offload, VMDQ etc ...

Depending on the usage, each virtualization product is used for different stories

i actually like xensource with the GPU pass thru thingy ... which also now Microsoft provides in RemoteFX....

wah... just noticed this thread! I wanna bulid one intel version

any recommendation bo?

* all thanks to stupid cisco, build all their system based on intel , bo bian, moi their supporter... *
