Given my experience with RHEL 5.x builtin Xen and VMware ESX(i), VMWare is kind of unusable when it comes to IO-intensive workloads, while xen is doing a decent job, as long as you run paravirtualized drivers.

And there are some rumours that rhel 5.4 will rock the block.

        Given that the recent betas of OpenSolaris include a Xen Dom0 and

        Oracle ;o) VirtualBox will be...


    Well, the VirtualBox Open Source Edition under GPL will still be out
    there even if they decide not to continue the commercial version
    with additional closed-source components. The Sun/Oracle
    merger/acquisition was still awaiting shareholder and regulatory
    approval last I read. Guess the jury is still out.


There's also the OracleVM offering. It's basically a cut-down EL5 with Xen 3.1.3 (I think). I have a vested interest, but it does seem pretty good.

It's open source and free to download from Oracle, but you'll have to pay for support.
