My idea focuses on more when running a PoC on a constrained budget and having to jump the first hurdle of obtaining buy in. Its impossible to sell Vmotion, DRS, HA without actualy showing it and having shared storage.

Chad (as i’ve emailed) it would be fantastic if Vmware/EMC released a tailor made supported cut down virtual appliance that did such a job just for PoC/Test environments….

I will tell you that within EMC we are on the VM appliance kool-aid. I have in my grubby hands more than 20 product that we already have as VMs internally, and will be posting them as fast as we can.

We’re also 100% committed to VMware’s VM Appliance direction.

I agree with your assessment – including the sales drones bit :-)
