Alpat Systems Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 19 minutes ago, james.wilson said: alpat whats your thoughts om virtualbox? We did briefly look at oracle VB, but the lack of support was an issue. Obviously cost wise VB wins hands down. VB is great for desktop virtualisation, VMWare for enterprise solutions VMWare also does quite a lot more, and is considerably quicker From what I remember the main issue for us with VB was controlling hardware ports through each virtualised server Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40115-dahua-in-commercial-world/page/2/#findComment-446192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpat Systems Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) VMWare management using VSphere (desktop client) is simple. On each Virtual server you can set max/min CPU, memory, LAN usage. So for CCTV we priorities LAN bandwidth, but not processor and memory. Its so easy to monitor everything through one client. Typical VMWare setup: ESX server host Virtual Centre Server Virtual Infrastructure (VI) client Web Browser License Server Database Edited May 11, 2016 by Alpat Systems Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/40115-dahua-in-commercial-world/page/2/#findComment-446196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 i would agree that vSphere is better it does seem expensive just for a cctv vs. Id also agree that it allows much better resource management But i use vbox for all my vm's and last time i used VMware stuff was back at v2 securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
