Hi all

This Hypervisor is smart. In case you haven't thought about it, the machine is fully controlled from the remote console. You install the Hypervisor, assign it an IP address (use DHCP if you like) and that's it. Now, sit back where you like and - from your laptop and its dvd drive - create and install the virtual machines and their OSs as you like.

Several hardware manufacturers offer machines with preinstalled Hypervisor. This must be the future. Buy a machine, plug it in, turn it on, DHCP will assign an address, and connect to it (remotely). Gone are the days where you sat in a crammed server room changing cd-roms watching a bad screen and typing on a left-over keyboard in an unpleasant position because neither room nor a table was found.
