Song9674, VMware Essentials is the best option to start with in your case. But Essentials do give you the backup API so you can use Unitrends, Veeam B&R, ghettoVCB or other backup solutions to backup your running vm clients.ДЄnthonењ“84, thank you for mentioning Veeam!

Essentials Plus will give you vMotion plus some other things for 10x the cost. VMware has nothing really to do with the load. You would be looking at VMware Essential which allows you to backup live VMs, vMotion, not sure about load balancing. However, if you VM doesn only file sharing, then requirements are a lot less for the hosts! If oneВ VM runs exchange with 1000 email accounts and a second one run SQL with huge DBs and a lot of read/write, then you'll need a powerful server. You don't mention what the 4 or 5 hosts do. If you want failover, you absolutely need 2 hosts. It's the hardware that VMWare runs on that will dictate if it can handle the loads you put on it.

or maybe load balance between the two and if one fail the otherВ physicalВ server will take over? Is thisВ possibleВ with two server or do i need 3В physicalВ server? Also what vpshere will do that? will the standard version work. What I want to do is have twoВ physicalВ server that host 4 or 5 vmware and the 2В psychicalВ server will act as a fail over. I want to get away from this and get a better solution. We do backup by shutting it down and backing up the whole Virtual machine directory. I do not know which one is suitable for me.Д¬urrently we have 3 server running on vmware server. I was looking at the pricing and there are alot of version to choose from vsphere standard, enterprise.
