Greetings
We have a fairly sizeable XenDesktop project on the horizon (very near horizon)
where we will be deploying 20 physical servers (running either the VMWare or
XenServer hypervisor supporting ) which will be hosting an initial 1000 Win7
virtual desktops that will be delivered using Citrix Provisioning services.
I'm writing today to solicit feedback on the pros and cons and personal
experiences of using XenServer over VMWare. We are currently a VMWare shop and
have experience. We currently have no one on staff with experience in
XenServer, but the cost savings (hard dollars) of using XenServer on a
deployment of this scale is significant and worth considering. One initial
thought was that we could take some of the $$ savings by using XenServer and
purchase support through Citrix or a Citrix partner. Thoughts?
Thank you,
Rob
