    Congrats to the entire AnandTech family on this one. I have been waiting for a long time for you guys to do this. I'm sure i'm not alone here, but having been an avid visitor to AnandTech for a decade it is good to finally see it move on to this topic. I remember reading this site when I was just a call center tech. Throughout the years as my job responsibilities changed to more in-depth IT I have longed for this site to develop something like this.

    I can't wait to see what is in store.

    Hi Brian,

    Thanks for letting us know you have been waiting for this one!

    What to expect:
    1)An in depth "nut and bolts" virtualization article

    2) Some interesting observations about AMD's en Intel's newest servers CPUs and virtualisation

    3) A review of Sun pretty special Tigerton server (x4450)

    4) In depth benchmarking on the different virtualization platforms.

    And hopefully a thriving IT community free from discussions of NVIDIA vs ATI/AMD :-)

    Sounds great. Here are some topics I would like to see:
    1) Server Reviews (Dell vs. HP vs. IBM vs. SUN)

    2) An extensive Windows Server Benchmarking suite for servers. Now with Server 2008 it would be great to see a real review of the new server OS.

    3) Comparision of Networking OS against each other (W2K8 vs. LINUX) (IIS vs. Apache) (MySQL vs. Oracle vs. MS SQL)

    4) VMWare ESX vs. Microsoft HyperV

    5) Perhaps a review of Itanium2 would be nice too

    Again i'm really looking forward to see what comes of this portal. I would love to help out in anyway possible.
