For performance I would say no, for file servers and print servers yes virtulise!

Having virtualized everything from file and print servers, IIS and Apache webservers, Microsoft and MySQL servers, Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory domain controllers, Oracle, various application servers, and 250+ virtual desktops... I can say with some authority, you don't take a (significant) performance hit when you virtualize correctly. With a desktop virtualization solution like VMWare Fusion/Workstation or Microsoft Virtual PC, you do, because you don't really have solid hardware access. With a virtualization hypervisor like VMWare ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V, the game is totally different.

Computer hardware, and especially servers, are far more powerful then what any one operating system and application combination can take advantage of. VMWare wouldn't be making money hand over fist if the only thing people were doing with it was virtualizing print servers.

In terms of being a single point of failure, you actually create a more robust infrastructure with virtualization. I used to think the same thing up until a few years ago, but look up ESX vMotion or Hyper-V Live Migration, and see what I'm talking about. It would require a NAS/SAN which isn't in the equation right now I'm sure. If you were virtualized, any hardware failure that required a system to be taken off line would be simply migrating the virtual guests to another host, all with NO network connection loss. It could also handle automatically migrating systems based on resource usage.

Congrats on the new server BTW.

Exactly, without a NAS/SAN and more servers of a similar size to migrate to should one fail, virtualisation isn't really an option.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By NextGen_Gamer · Posted

      Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.
    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about

      That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.

      Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.

      do these change.org petitions ever do anything besides give people a place to complain?
