Thanks guys for keeping this topic alive. =) I'm leaning towards the opensource or at least the Xen side of things. I haven't yet fully evaluated vCloud Director but I get the gut feeling that anything "VMware" is going to be costly. Is that a fair assumption? The issue is that I'm looking for an application that is as turnkey as possible, even if it's a little bit more. That "could" be vCloud Director, I don't know yet.... But I do know that if we have to invest in writing a lot of custom scripts to get what we want, then we don't have the resources for that....

You can take a look at vCloud Director (http://www.vmware.com/products/vcloud-director/) and BMC (http://www.bmc.com/products/product-listing/bmc-cloud-lifecycle-management.html) -----Original Message----- From: Brandon Kim <brandon.kim () brandontek com> To: nanog group <nanog () nanog org> Subject: OT: VM slicing and dicing Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 11:17:50 -0500 Hey gents: As always I value your input. Best resource on the planet! =) I'm hoping this isn't too off-topic if so please respond to me offline if so. I figured since most of everyone here are operators working in a datacenter, you may or may not have experience with virtualization software that allows you to configure VM's on the fly. I'm not looking for companies that offer this service, but the actual software engines that allow you to create VM's on the fly. So a customer goes to your website and says I want Win2008 with 8gigs of RAM and 120gigs of HDD. Just like custom configuring a new PC. Does anyone here have experience or knowledge of companies that offer this type of software engine? Thanks in advance! Brandon
