    SolusVM is best-suited to automate VPS services where your users can easily order, customize, manage and upgrade their virtual servers easily. It is less appropriate for managing a single server that does not need to virtualize a cluster of virtual servers.

    Vsphere Operation Management is suitable for automating the process of bringing up an alternate data center in case of a disaster. It also is a great way for testing your readiness of disaster. You have the ability to bring up a server in a "bubble" for testing. This way you can show your admins how the failover process will work.

    vSphere with Operations Management has a much better way of automating the re-IPing of servers so you can stand them up in a different environment or location. You do, however, need another way of replicating your servers to your DR site, VSOM will not do that. We used EMC Recover Point for replication.
