Performance is not the Problem, we use it for testing and deployment not in a productive environment.<br />
Important for me is, that the cloning is possible without any problems.

I'm sorry I can't give you an answer on the actual cloning, but in reply to what jhyiesla said, in ESX you can configure resource pools, so you can actually limit the resource of any VM (or group of VMs) you wish.<br />

Hello<br />
We are looking for to build an new ESX Server environment.<br />
The Question now is, if its possible to make some clones from a VM (from a template) with Win 2003 Server and SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008.<br />
I just remember, that it was a problem with SQL Server 2000, something with the Name or SID of the Machine, whitch change while cloning the VM.<br />
<br />
Thanks and kind regards<br />

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
