I've done PVS w/o VMM for deployments. Full clones also.

I agree, XO is pretty cool

The Nutanix stuff looks nice, but no full blown freebies like XenServer

Hyper-v is free

Only thing that is extra now is s2d and containers

Everything included in hyper-v edition

Except those 2 features added in 2016

Use hyper-v manager, failover cluster manager, PoSH etc to manage

I was actually commenting on your "ahv is growing on me...." comment & how AHV is nice but no freebies like XS or Hyper-V

Ah ok lol

Yep love prism interface

XenServer is very much slower compared to other HV. That goes for file copy, deployments etc etc. Have always been like that, and even with 7.x it's still an issue.

Also disk limits

With all the brain power at Citrix, why can't they fix those problems?

Good question

Slow improvements...

ovirt is free, I use RHV which is enterprise ovirt (disclaimer: I work for Red Hat). If you use the lite hypervisor options, cockpit is the UI interface to the nodes.

ovirt/KVM I should add

@User Are you claiming "ovirt/ovirt enterprise" is as good/easy to use as AHV?

This message was deleted.

I have used HyperV, Xen, Vmware, ovirt, RH(e)V though (and even KVM/libvirt)

KVM/libvirt mean pretty raw commands

And I’m a HUGE container fan so I try to do what i can in containers when it’s possible

How is the ease of use/deployment with ovirt?

@User Great question, ease of use is great once it’s up and running. The deployment honestly was a learning experience for me (if youv’e been using KVM and ovirt before it’s easy, if you’re coming at it from vmware and hyperv and GUI, it’s a little tougher). The more complex I wanted things, the more i learned. Right now I’m using 3 nodes in a cluster and running the management VM on top. The nodes leverage local disk and a cache disk (FusionIO in my case) for storage using Gluster (think clustered NFS)

Looks nice mate!!

Handcrafted and Wood... You never know if it will turn into a Bentley or a server rack 😄

😄 - nice to see to be fair - some effort going into rack construction - could be starting something there @User

Who can tell me if XD works on vSphere 6.5a? Don't care about actual support 🙂

It does, I have VDAs 7.12 running on it, haven't done a lot of testing though
