We are in the process of replacing our main server at the moment. We have decided to make the move to a virtualised system built on the free version of VMWare's hypervisor, ESXi 5.0. There are a number of reasons we are making this move but one of the main reasons is separation of function.
Our hardware supplier had a special on MSI 100+ netbooks last week so we bought a couple of them. Our reasoning was that we are spending more time away from the office and home and they would make for light travelling gear. This is particularly attractive to Lisa as she flies to Timaru on a semi-regular basis and finds it difficult working on the tiny plane she has to fly in.
