      <br>
      We use Solaris virtualisation and it works great. The zones (VMs
      per se) are lightweight, easy to administer and rock solid. <br>
      <br>
      btw, common misconceptions are that you need sun (oracle) hardware
      and that the os is not free. These are both false. <br>
    </blockquote>
    <br>
    so you use opensolaris, I guess, and then it can be any intel/amd
    arch server (e.g., dell, hp)?<br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>

          Hi Daniel,<br>
          <br>
          here's from my personal experience:<br>
          Our setup at ng-voice is a little weird sometimes: We've
          rented some<br>
          virtual servers at a german provider (who uses Xen). On these
          virtual<br>
          servers we've installed OpenVz, which for us is absolutely
          great, if<br>
          you are just working with Linux-Servers. While Xen is a rather<br>
          complete virtualization, OpenVz is lightweight and comes in
          handy, if<br>
          you just want to logically separate servers. We've got each
          IMS<br>
          component (P-/I-/S-CSCF, HSS, Application-Servers, Databases)
          running<br>
          on a dedicated OpenVz Container, which is really great. We've
          even got<br>
          a CentOs-Container running on a Debian OpenVz, which is
          started<br>
          "on-demand" in order to build RPM-Packages. With OpenVz you
          can even<br>
          move Containers from one host to another, theoretically with
          zero<br>
          downtime (doesn't work with SEMS, don't know about other
          software).<br>
          For our IMS-setup, we work with RTP-Relaying, which works
          great within<br>
          virtualization, i cannot complain.<br>
          <br>
          At another customer (a fibre provider in Germany), we're
          running all<br>
          the infrastructure on Xen-only. An infrastructure provider
          takes care<br>
          of the administration, but those servers run poorly
          (RTP-Relaying is<br>
          okay but everything else is really slow).<br>
          <br>
          Conclusion for me: VoIP on virtual servers can work great, but
          the<br>
          virtualization infrastructure needs to be administered
          properly which<br>
          may not be an easy task, if you are new in this subject.<br>
          <br>
          Kind regards,<br>

            <div class="h5">&gt; Hello,<br>
              &gt;<br>
              &gt; just asking to see your experience deploying sip
              platforms on virtual<br>
              &gt; systems. So far I was running Kamailio in virtual
              machines and no problems,<br>
              &gt; but I insisted that media servers to be on physical
              machines. Lately is more<br>
              &gt; pressure from the market to go everything virtual.<br>
              &gt;<br>
              &gt; So the question is more about having everything on
              virtual systems, proxy<br>
              &gt; and media server, where the media server can deal
              with transcoding,<br>
              &gt; conference rooms and IVRs.<br>
              &gt;<br>
              &gt; Any strong comments pro or against?<br>
              &gt;<br>
              &gt; What is your preferred virtualization system for such
              deployments?<br>
              &gt;<br>
              &gt; Cheers,<br>
