Deploying Virtual Infrastructure on Standard Operating Systems
Overview As it becomes more apparent that virtualization is here to stay, some users may find it intuitively appealing to standardize on a software platform that is optimized solely for virtualization. However, using established operating systems to virtualize workloads offers a variety of benefits related to compatibility, robustness, functionality, security, and manageability issues such as patch management. ESX Server from VMware, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SLES 10) from Novell, and Windows Server 2008 from Microsoft are all designed to host virtual infrastructure. However, some key differences in the implementations of these virtualization platforms can have a significant impact on their deployment requirements and manageability.
