Hey Klaus,<br><br>We use solaris as host AND guest ;)<br><br>solaris is slightly different to normal VM systems in that you can't really load up "any OS" into the guest. There are branded zones that support a few flavours of linux (ala redhat, etc). However, in our experience the Solaris OS is really solid for all we need. <br>

<br>Also there is some really nice network virtualisation you can do too.<br><br>Cheers<br>Jason<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 12:11 PM, Klaus Darilion <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:klaus.mailinglists@pernau.at" target="_blank">klaus.mailinglists@pernau.at</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hey Daniel,<br>
<br>
We use Solaris virtualisation and it works great. The zones (VMs per se)<br>
are lightweight, easy to administer and rock solid.<br>
<br>
btw, common misconceptions are that you need sun (oracle) hardware and<br>
that the os is not free. These are both false.<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>
Carsten<br>
