Citrix & VMware: Oil & Water?

This month's Redmond Magazine also sports an article written by myself and Steve Kaplan that discusses the rather gnarly topic of whether its a good idea to run Citrix servers inside virtualization environments.

We talk about the problem both from the performance standpoint as well as from the idea of easy recoverability. Although, in the end, you're going to see a decrease in performance any time you squoosh servers together into virtualization environments -- you cannot change the laws of physics! But, the other benefits of virtualization sometimes outweigh that performance loss.

Click below for the link to the article. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on it.

You can read the article at the Redmond Magazine web site at: http://redmondmag.com/features/article.asp?editorialsid=718

Again, if you have any thoughts about our approach to the problem, I'd love to hear them. This is a pretty hot topic right now, and its only going to get more attention as more people move to virtualization.
