Hi @scottalanmiller , the main goal of this webinar was just to compare and provide more information on several hypervisor options on the market. VMware vSphere as the one with the largest market share and oVirt as an example of open-source. Not saying that they or one of them is best. We leave this open to discussion. We might as well make another webinar on Proxmox and other hypervisors. We would love to cover all but that's not something we can fit in one webinar.
