Surprised VMware is still around, with all the nice open source stuff and cloud. Hearing VMware is like hearing about Windows 95.
Is the nice non-cloud open source stuff reasonable for enterprise needs? My workplace needs to host a large number of virtual machines, and historical reasons plus various regulations make it easier for us to do that in a datacenter, not on the cloud.
VMware meets our needs, and it definitely doesn't run or look like a product past its prime, so I'm interested in any of these non-cloud open source alternatives.
Eventually we may move to cloud, but we haven't been able to find any significant increase in functionality to justify the work for that move.
I would suggest looking at OpenStack and KVM or XEN for the hypervisor.
You also have Proxmox.
Big love for Proxmox.
