I don't think that really answered any of my points. Also I'm not certain if you understand the environment fully. Regardless of whether we use Hyper-V or a VMWare product, we would have the same quantity of Hypervisors because they are spread out between completely seperate organisations across the world.
My concern is not about the performance, resource utilisation or any other related focus. My focus is on remote management and monitoring, functionality and manipulation of regular administrative tasks.
I am looking for some experience in how others achieve what I pointed out in my OP (the 3 topics).
Cheers
