>>>>...That is one of the best ways to explain it Steve. Have you got a copy
write on that :-). I wonder if you are better off saying that VMware has
"the most commercially mature and established hypervisor platform". Xen has
been around for a long time too, but has not had the commercial drive and
development funding that VMware has had.

 

Jeremy,

 

Nice clarification!

VMWare ESX = the most mature and established hypervisor platform

 

Xen Server= newer hypervisor, based on a better technical foundation,
catching up with VMware, not as "Enterprise" able

 

MS Hyper-V= new kid on the block, based on XEN technology, has muscle of MS
behind it, it is free, MS is targeting the management of virtual machines as
their new market opportunity and pulling out all stops to get there first
and knock VMWare out

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
?
