Easy-Peasy Virtualization Solution with Excellent Service

The ease in which we can create virtual machines (VMs) that are highly available using this service was very helpful for us during an outage at another vendor where VMWare ESX servers were down! We had been running several instances simultaneously but when they went offline so did all other services - including backups from those systems via DRBD replication between them!! So now instead if having one instance up/down or even two being unavailable due to power failures etc., everything is just gone. This has saved me time by not needing my team members who used VMware tools extensively every day since their companies moved over years ago before vSphere became more mainstream within enterprises like ours have done today. ! Not much else really because its easy enough once set ups happen after some initial learning curve issues initially solved themselves through trial & error methods :) Highly recommend getting started early though otherwise there will be problems later.

Cons
  • Some basic knowledge required about networking concepts; however most people should know what VLAN's / sub
