VMware GSX Server Reviews

VMware Inc.'s GSX Server 2.5 is a good choice for Wintel shops looking to consolidate their server infrastructure to increase CPU utilization and streamline management efficiencies.

GSX Server is designed to allow enterprise IT managers to roll out multiple virtual servers (guest operating systems) to run within a large Intel Corp.-based server platform (multiprocessor host server). GSX Server 2.5, released earlier this month, supports as many as 32 host processors, 64GB of host memory and 64 powered-on virtual machines.

The VMware software runs as an application on top of a host operating system and partitions guest operating systems into virtual machines within the host. The virtual machines are securely isolated to function just like separate servers. System resources are systematically allocated to the virtual guest systems based on need, providing mainframe-level capacity utilization.
