virtualization

Dear all, I know it might be a strange request but please bear with me ... I started using VMWARE ESXi about 5 years ago as my virtualization platform of choice in my home lab. Since then, due to easier backup, scripting and base OS (Debian), I switched to Proxmox VE (without subscription). All...

I would be interested in your opinion because I am migrating all my machines to Virtualized solutions (mostly Proxmox VE, still have one ESXi Box). For the Host (or AIO using OmniOS + Napp-IT) filesystem I'm without doubt using ZFS. Does it matter the FS that the Guest will be using? Of it...

While Ryzen certainly is a very tempting platform for virtualization on the cheap, we have reported before that it may not be quite there yet. ServeTheHome has had some further relevant issues with their Ryzen system on the B350 platform with certain configurations resulting in an ADM-Vi error...

Here's one for those of you who hang out in our Virtualized Computing subforum. With all of those cores for not very much money, many of us have been secretly thinking about whether or not Ryzen would make for a good ESXi server. The answer right now is, probably not. At least not in 6.5...

Hi and thansk for reading this, here is a bit of background: Im a software developer. I use virtualization extensively: host is Linux and guests are a mix of different Linux flavours and some Windows XP/7/8/10. I use VirtualBox to run everything. I would like to start up VMs faster, have more...
