    Default VMware ESXi vs Xenserver

    Hi
    I want to start to use either vmware esxi or xenserver to host a few of my servers.
    I am not sure which road to go down.

    My idea is to run it bare metal and make snapshots / backups of the vm’s.
    I have 1 HP ML150 that I want to use. In the case that the motherboard or something packs up I want to be able to move the vm for the server and run them on a desktop till I can get the server back up. I have a corei5 with 8 GB of RAM which I can use as the backup machine.

    Will I be able to move the vm from esxi to vmplayer/server and then back again?

    Can the same be done with xen?

    Which one will be the easiest to archive it with?

    use esxi plus vmware stand alone converter to create the vm's
    You only get one chance to piss off a client. After that they are an ex client ...
