Why vmware cloud computing?

We are in the early beggining with planning implementation cloud computing infrastructure.

These days we will decide about platform, vendor and etc.

Some people reccomend Linux virtualization, becouse of price.

I strongly reccomend vmware, but I need more arguments.

Can someone please tell me briefly about advantages, comparation and etc. between Linux and VMware, or send me a good links.

Thanks a lot.

First, we need to know more about the end result you are wanting to achieve and what you want your infrastructure to do before we can give you any arguments.  I mean we could go with the standard VMware is better because they are the leader in virtualization and are the ones driving the elasticity of the cloud infrastructure.  Or even the fact that they have all the tools you need to setup a strong cloud infrastructure.  But to better suit your needs for arguments we need more information.

Thanks James.

It's hard to talk about and result for now. I am sure it will be the small enviroment in the beginning and grow in the future, so the price will be big factor.

Any good links to compare products?

Thanks
