Essentials Plus Bundle.=20
We went through our Dell rep for academic pricing which made it very
affordable compared to the full blown ESX builds.=20
With this bundle you can bring up 3 boxes, have High Availability and
VMware data recovery. (also includes the iso for cold conversions rather
than using the free tool)
*This bundle does not include Vmotion, but for us the price difference
did not justify having it, and with High Availability included your
critical vm's will be moved automatically if one host goes down.=20

Subject: Re: ISED- Microsoft vs VM Ware for virtual servers
I would have to agree that VMWare is more effecient and stable. There
is
also the advantage of a highly effective user interface for managing fhe
virtual environment which is sorely lacking in Hyper V unless you deploy
System Center.
I currently work with over 20 non profits running about 50 servers on
the
free VMWare ESXi platform without any issue. And to be able to use the
free
VMWare conversion tool to perform physical to virtual migration and
virtual
to virtual migrations is just another list of bonuses.

Bo,
I am assuming the extra expense for VMware is because your consultant is
recommending vSphere. My question would be does your organization
require
all of the features vSphere provides, such as high availability or
vMotion?
One option would be to look into ESXi, also from VMware, which is
currently
free. If need be, those features I mentioned can be licensed for your
environment.
Also, from personal experience I have found the claim that VMware is
more
stable than Hyper-V to be true.
