Hi, I run a small company and I would like to virtualise our setup. My internet provider offers a cloud server running CentOS. The server is managed by vmware software, they haven't been able to tell me exactly what. I wanted to know is it possible to virtualise such a setup, and Have CentOS running as the virtual OS that every client sees. Is there a solution similar to vmware view + client for CentOS servers?

Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager is the package name) is a nice and easy to use GUI for creating, modifying and deleting virtual servers on CentOS. It uses the KVM hypervisor by default, which "just works". I'd strongly recommend giving it a try.
