Remember the earlier post about how Citrix will be offering its XenServer Enterprise hypervisor for free? Well its now available to be downloaded for free. See how Citrix attempts to smother VMware ESXi with its superior features here
A comparative analysis of the three major hypervisors VMware, Hyper-V and XenServer has been published by Virtualization Review. You can expect some vendors to be happy about the results and others, not so much.
I read about a startup (Altor Networks) that has developed a virtual firewall for VMware hypevisor. It is basically a virtual appliance that you plug into your virtual environment to act as a firewall between your virtual switches and virtual machines. It also wraps firewall policies for each VM so that even when migrated, the VMs will still be protected.
Citrix this week made its XenServer Enterprise hypervisor free allowing small businesses to virtualize for free - virtually. Way to go if you are on a shoestring budget.
Features packed into the 64-bit XenServer Enterprise edition include an enterprise management software called XenCenter, VM live migration technology, resource sharing and the enterprise storage management.
