I actually heard that the Microsoft iteration of Hyper-V actually uses a Parent VM to control the Child VM's. Making the VM architecture completely dependent on this Parent VM. The way i see it, that exposes the machine to 2 points of failure: The phsyical aspects of the server itself and this Parent OS.
is this true ?
>>>>...That is one of the best ways to explain it Steve. Have you got a copy write on that J. 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 ?
