Hi,
I run a small company and I would like to virtualise our setup. My internet provider offers a cloud server running CentOS. The server is managed by vmware software, they haven't been able to tell me exactly what. 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?
Regards,
Ridhwaan Mayet CEO Mayet Economics

Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager is the package name) is a nice and easy to use GUI for creating, modifying and deleting virtual servers on CentOS. It uses the KVM hypervisor by default, which "just works".
I'd strongly recommend giving it a try.

Be aware that KVM visualization requires a 64 bit environment.

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.
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.

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.

I've run proxmox as a VMware guest on esx and it allows openvz guests inside proxmox, but not KVM.
