I use xen + Cloudmin as web interface GPL version and i think it's best choice.

First of all, thanks for your comment. I'm sorry the approval process was so slow. I'm unfortunately not able to give you any advices on your problem; I simply don't know enough to do so. Try to find a forum inhabited by clever minds . But I would say that you should have a CPU supporting either Intel VT-x or AMD-V if your project should be successful.

Thanks for your bill !

I'm about to Consolidate 5 WindowsServer2003 on a X86 machine (not sure if it suppports Intel-vt Technology)

so, my problem is :

If Intel-VT is enabled on my processor, what product is the best choice (in terms of IO, Networking peroformance)Xen, ESXi, VmWareServer, KVM...?

If it's not enabled what product fits the best with my case ESXi, VirtualBox,VirtualPC...?

Thank you in advance !

You can use any server but its good to have managed hosted server for your site or business.

Has anyone managed to get ESXi installed and running on a Hetzner DS-8000?

I am keen to do this as I want to run about 7 vm's of various functions but Im not sure VMWare Server (running on a minimal Gentoo host OS) will be up to the task on this particular server.

What about firewalling? Im not sure it would be a good idea having ESXi management interface open to the net..
