I'm most familiar with VMware, so I will speak to that company. For free support, they have documentation and a very extensive online community . Their free products are: VMware Server 2.0 - this will install on Windows or Linux and requires an operating system in order to function. ESXi 4.0 - this...

Are you using desktop power management tools, virtualization, or hosted software packages to reduce your energy use and go green(er)? Did you decide to move your old-fashioned donor database off your organization's servers and onto Salesforce? Have you virtualized a server or even desktop machine...

I was excited to see the Sun Fire boxes available. I would love to deploy one in our all-Mac environment where an alternative is the hugely expensive Xserve. What I really want to use it for is to allow users to see exactly the same files, etc. no matter what Mac they log into. There are various ways...

Hi Brian, EMC/VMWare are currently not donating partners, and while I don't speak for the Business Development team, I don't believe we've been in contact with them. Very often we need the community to increase awareness to these companies, that there is indeed demand for their donations...

My guess is that I can't see why that language would have to do with the donation or the program themselves, and thus suspect it refers to...

Hi all, I'll do my best to address some of the questions here: @rrci, I personally don't know how much the prices for the service plans will be. We can find out for you. As for the SAS or specs in general we are given minimum specs for the servers but not to the level of the speeds of the drives...

Hi Jesse, Those are all great questions. I have worked with these at TechSoup during the process and with one that is spec'ed similarly with the ones they are donating. Unless they are significantly different, you can expect them to come with Sun OS, as well as a disc for OpenSolaris. You can run...

Yup, TechSoup is excited to have a new donation partnership with Sun to make its server products available through TechSoup Stock. But before you sing, "It's alright...", just wait a minute. How do you know if you even need a server? What kind of servers are out there? And very important...
