We are currently looking at replacing one of our oldest and lest cared about system, our phone system. The company has never really looked at this technology much because it always seems to reliably work. On this quest, we bumpted into some free solutions that we ae investigating further. Now I'm sure by now you have heard that VMWARE is free to use now. Because of this, we have decided to format a few of our older rack mount servers (Yes we are now on a blade/san system that ROCKS!), load up linux, and install a few VMWARE servers on it. So far its our testing environment, has 8GB of Ram, and works great! We have even installed HP Procurve Manager on Linux.. its sweetness. Ok, so maybe there were some more free things we could use... maybe load up a Linux VMWare image... with some free Linux Software.... Well, check this out!
