With the release of the 2U, 2-socket R805 and the 4U, 4-socket R905 (both AMD based servers) and the already existing 4U, 4-socket R900 (Intel based server) now is a really good time to be looking for a server to run your virtualization farm on. All three are excellent choices and could be the right server. To determine which one depends on lots of things. I'm looking for reasons to choose one over the other (let me know your thoughts). We will be putting together some information to help people decide here on TechCenter and hosting some chat sessions to enable discussion.
Specifically, I ran across this article from The Register that I think has a pretty good take on the R805/R905 Virtualization announcement from a couple of days ago. They point out all of the server options as well as the virtualizaiton services that were a part of the announcement on Tues.
