What performance do I sacrifice by running VMware vSphere (or other virtualization solution)?
I don't know much about "bare metal" and all the offerings. Sounds ideal to have one super machine hosting other machines. I want one of the virtual machines to be my main workhorse, and several other VM's to experiment. I need to know what compromises/sacrifices I will need to consider, and ultimately decide if virtualization is something I want to do, versus separate physical machines.
I use web, video encoding (handbrake or if something better), video/photo editing, and a lot of file checksums (via snapraid).
Thanks.
