Re: Somewhat OT: Virtualization and Cisco Nexus Switches

It really depends what you want to achieve with the virtualiztion usually we
are seeing that due to space issue , heat and management issues of the
physical hardware (servers and others) universities are looking towards
virtualization

What you really want to virtualize this is the question , you want to save
some servers then I think vmware is the best option u can pick

I would suggest do the demo first rather then becoming so convience by just
seeing the marketing material of the vendors
