I run a small company and I would like to virtualise our setup. My internet provider offers a cloud server running CentOS.

I wanted to know is it possible to virtualise such a setup, and Have CentOS running as the virtual OS that every client sees. Is there a solution similar to vmware view + client for CentOS servers?
wait, if your ISP is already virtualizing your internet server, I'm not sure what you're asking?
do you want to run your own hardware server and host virtual machines for your customers/clients ? then, yes, KVM + virt-manager is a good solution.
you can't run virtualization under an already virtualized environment.
This isn't true. You can run KVM on KVM, you just need to enable embedded KVM. I don't know how it works with VMWare hypervisor, but I know it's possible with kvm.
btw, it sounds like your ISP is using vmware esxi as the hypervisor, but thats just an educated guess based on the minimal intel given.
