Thanks TJ
One thing to add... I am likely going to run this on top of Hyper-V 2012,
it is free, and the replication is awesome. I previously was XenServer all
the way (after many years of ESXi)... but I have had some support issues
from Citrix on the XenServer in the past... costly support issues, whereas
the hyper-v is becoming so ubiquitous that tracking down an issue is pretty
simple.
