After bitter statements around Xen’s maturity these last weeks from Red Hat, Novell, and XenSource itself, the company finally launched its first commercial product based on the open source hypervisor: XenEnterprise 1.0. The product adds commercial grade features and support to Xen 3.0. XenSource also built around it a sales channel infrastructure, a technical certification program, and a much discussed agreement with Microsoft.
I’ve never dealt with this sort of stuff, but the product demo makes this software seem pretty cool.
Well I am very glad for all the the FOSS managemanet tools coming out as it makes things so much smoother, even if this one isnt free.
I think IBM is really stepping up it’s efforts here as well as Sun.
