Hi all,

I follow the current "BHyVe - ESXi comparison" thread.

To go further, I think one good reflexion topic is about the migration 
from one to another, back and forth.

ESXi installation base is quite big, espacially on server side and with 
the people I meet. That is mostly french IT companies, having their 
cloud hosted by OVH (http://www.ovh.com/fr/dedicated-cloud/).

In the company I'm working, we made an attempt to virtualize in-house 
with XenServer then export to OVH's ESXi when needed (back & forth). The 
amount of work was too high in order to have a decent and reliable 
conversion, so that we gave up and stayed with the VMware tools for the 
moment.

This conversion topic is really an important one.
