Well, ok, = I thought you could get me some good leads. We're looking into an alternative to VMWare vSphere 5, one that will run = under whatever OS (we're not sold to Windows for our base configuration) = and will support any OS on top of it (BSD, Linux, Windows, etc.). Links to whitepapers and pricing (if applicable) would also be = appreciated. We're going to utilize most of this machine to run various = video surveillance solutions but will also reserve some smaller slices = for our network communications (DNS, DHCP, ipTables, Nagios, etc.). Thanks! -- Ryan=
