XenServer is much like Hyper-V. In fact XenSource worked with Microsoft to
help develop portions of Hyper-V. Interesting enough, they also share the
same architecture.
XenServer=Para-virtualized Hypervisor
XenApp=Previously know as CPS and Application Virtualization (think softgrid
like)
XenDesktop=Hosted/Virtualized Desktops
Provisioning Server=PXE boot VM and hard-machines. Can share a common image so
1 OS image can boot 100s of PCs.

Thanks Jim.
So Xenserver is a different product than CPS ? And Xenserver is the direct
VMware/Hyper-V competitor ?
I believe the new name is XenApp Server and it's up to revision 5.0, correct ?
I'm trying to catch up, forgive me.

Forgot a link. Citrix put up a separate site for Xenserver at
http://www.xenserver5.com/
which contains additional information just on Xenserver.

On the Citrix front you will want to take a look at Xenserver (
http://www.citrix.com/xenserver ) and consider that they include Provisioning
with it that gives you a faster ability to deploy servers in my opion then
VMWare. Vmware has been doing this a whole lot longer though and they have
probably the most robust management tools out there. As time goes by though
that game is changing.

All -
Let me preface this by saying, I run a relatively small shop with a single CPS
4.0 farm and single WI/CSG deployment.
Now, Management wants to get involved with server virtualization. They are
heading towards the direction of VMware but i do know that Citrix is in the
virtualization space as well, but i don't know to what capacity. I, personally,
have always thought that VMware would be the route to take to get server's and
client's virtualized -- does citrix have something to compete with vmware
ESX/Workstation ?
in other words, what exactly is citrix doing with regards to virtualization ?
