I had been planning on moving to ESX server from VMWare server for months but the $5000+ was a major stumbling block and made it harder to justify its ROI. I ran across a couple reviews of a server virtualization product named Virtual Iron a couple months ago. It is a competitor to VMWare ESX Server and other hypervisor based virtualization products. One review performed by Infoworld really caught my attention and prompted me to call their sales department for more information. I talked with a gentleman that went over the features of Virtual Iron. They offer some of the advanced features VMWare does like Snapshots, LiveMigrate and LiveCapacity and at 1/5 the price of VMWare. This looks like it could be a very compelling product and I have received the evaluation for their product so I will keep you posted on how that goes.
