VmWare Server is Free!

I guess they are going to worry about how to make money later. The important thing is that it’s free.

I love VMWare and Microsoft VPC. Two years ago I was studying for the Windows server clustering test and had no clustering hardware, not in the home office, not anywhere. The only clusters I saw were in client data centers, and the client usually wouldn’t let me play with theirs!

But I had one decent optiplex and I setup two vmware windows 2003 servers and a shared disk that both could “see”. The shared disk became my RAID array and vmware was smart enough to let you simulate as many scsi buses as you wanted. I could cluster to my hearts content. Good stuff.
