[NTLUG:Discuss] Lastest on Virtualization - Xen, VMWare or Microsoft - which to choose

[Lee Doran]

Thanks to all that have replied so far.  Please continue to give your
thoughts and experiences on various VM solutions.

I had not heard of the KVM soulution, thanks, I am going to put it on
our list of options.  The key though with a new technology like that is
how quickly will the tools show up. 

So is it safe to say there are 4 primary sets of core technology:

	1. Microsoft
	2. Vmware
	3. Xen - Citrix / Novell ( am I right that this is the same XEN)
	4. KVM 

Are there any major players that need to be looked at?

Lee

KVM looks like its going to be the next hot vm solution (in the
linux/free realm), even RedHat is moving to it.
