[THIN] Re: Vmware vs Citrix....

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.

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  ?
