Portable Server Environments


A friend of mine once had the idea that he could create a portable server environment, almost like domino’s pizza where he would turn up at your office with the thin (HP) or thick (Dell) base and add the toppings of your choice, a little bit of MS, a little bit of VMware and a sprinkle of Linux.

This would all be enclosed in a container and be a self sufficient server room that you plug in and go, the following cabinets reminded me of him…..

Portable Server Environments

In all seriousness I think these are great for the small companies.

    Hi Alan,

    I have couple of vm which are thick provisioned could you assist with steps
    or script to directly change to thick without cloning it. This would be of great help if you provide me with details.
