One problem I've had at every place employment I've worked at in the last few years is getting a VM which matches production to use as a sandbox. With this kind of thing it would make that a snap. "What's the difference between this and production?" "Nothing. It's the same image."

With good bandwidth, you could pull the entire bunch down locally to use in dev and testing. That's unheard of as far as I know (although it has been the holy grail for some time) Businesses that start and grow in an environment like this are going to have significant advantages over older businesses.
- nopal 16y agoVMWare offers a tool that solves this problem -- Lab Manager (http://www.vmware.com/products/labmanager/ http://www.vmware.com/products/labmanager/). It even supports setting up environments that contain isolated clones of multiple servers (see other child comment). From what I understand it's going to be replaced with a new product fairly soon, but I've heard great things about Lab Manger.
