My thoughts are that KVM is part of the OS while VMWare is an addon. If KVM can meet your needs (are all the physical servers vmx|svm compatible, etc.), then I would go with KVM. It is also much easier to script the creation of KVM VMs via things like cobbler, etc. If I were doing this, I would be doing it in KVM unless there was something that made me require an external to the OS solution. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
