installed a Windows server on ESXI and then installed Padvish Antivirus(Console Manager) on it.

I Installed ESXI on HP ProLiant DL380 G8 for one of the contracted organizations.

i switched from Vmware to Virtualbox. vmware has some problems with 3D accelaration and linux kernel . It takes me a long time to fix its errors. VirtualBox is lighter though I believe that Vmware is better option overall but not for linux users.

Never used VMware only Virtualbox, is okay. Right now have double partitions with Windows and Fedora, thinking hard to delete Windows completely but sometimes i need it maybe should try windows on virtualbox in fedora hmmm

I'm going to install vSphere Replication on HP Servers in order to replicate hosts between physical servers. this is the first time that i want to do it. Since Esxi 6.5 u2 and Vcenter 6.5 u2 are installed on physical servers(hp proliant dl380 g6), vSphere Replication 8.2.0.1 & 2 is Compatible for installing on HP Servers. I also want to go for installing VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) for recovery hosts(whenever it's needed).

switched to proxmox.

anyone has experienced with XCP NG ?

I deployed VManage, VSmart, and VEdge in VMware ESXI.

Has anyone ever worked with Nutanix?
As virtualization is changing exponentially and some technologies has emerged recently, may be i switch to Nutanix.

 

[Siamak]

I noticed that some techies are gradually moving towards Docker and Kubernetes and leaving Hypervisor aside. Also, Nutanix has been a serious competitor to VMware and has gained its place in the virtualization field.

With the Broadcom takeover of VMware, there's been a lot of uncertainty, especially around licensing, support, and future roadmap clarity. I know for a fact many companies began their migration process off VMware to Nutanix or other competitors in 2023/2024.

I'd say Proxmox is also a good option for creating VMs, but it's suitable for light processing and not for a large enterprise environment.

Docker and Kubernetes doesn’t really replace virtualisation provided by Hypervisor products. Different use cases imo.
VMWare is now in the “squeeze every dollar out” phase of a Broadcom acquisition. Expect it to still make a shit ton of money, but from a product perspective this is as good as VMware will ever be.

Proxmox looks good for homelabs. Haven’t tried it yet even though I’m tempted from time to time.

They don't virtualization, docker works based on containers. This allows you to run multiple services and applications on just one kernel (OS), unlike Vmware, where you have to run multiple operating systems to run different services.
I would say docker is a lightweight virtualization with better management. I work with Microsoft services as part of my job, Docker has not yet provided a solution to run Microsoft services on a single kernel, that's why I'm still stuck with vmware and haven't fully migrated to Docker. All my Linux services are now running on containers and Docker.
