Xen 3.0 is out. Xen is to open source what VMware GSX is to the closed licence world. VMware is today’s undisputed leader of virtualization. But now Xen has many selling points:
- A commercial company and a dual licencing mode to support its adoption
- A ultra-sexy value proposal: reduce your infrastructure costs thanks to dynamic allocation of resources: your application has a peak of usage and need more CPU power for a few hours? Xen is taking it from the CPUs it is managing !
- Xen is actively promoted by Red Hat, the leading provider of server side Linux operating servers
War time is coming in the virtualization space.
