KVM and vmware work the same way. OpenVZ will make the most of your storage. but for your users, you should be fine either way. We use LVM to slice up storage arrays into resizable manageable units.
VMware and KVM use processor virtualisation, but thats not the problem - the disk and network i/o virtualisation costs too much IMHO. OpenVZ is containerisation instead. So you get essentially real I/O. Plenty of howtos on the net on how to do it - I can assure you it work. KVM/VMware would work too, but waste more diskspace as well. Either way, with your hardware you should be fine. |
