Guys wondering what performance comparisions have been done between VI and VMWare ESX? I'm assuming that VI is more a comparision at the high end rather than against the VMware server?

I'd be interested in some thoughts on this - I saw in one of the VMware blogs some mention of a new vendor neutral benchmark under development I suppose just for this purpose.

Is VI's approach faster than VMwares?  In my experience customers are interested both in cost of ownership and also in performance. If they virtualise, they're concerned that their users shouldn't necessarily be able to tell.

With VI's approach am I right in understanding there is no need to run a "vmware tools" type software model inside the client Virtual Machine?

Also what mechanisms are there to migrate customers who may already been running VMware or MS virtual s/w?


Cheers



BJ
