"Despite the wide and good success the Xen hypervisor project has obtained in the open source community, commercial solutions based on it or incorporating it didn't have similar luck: • the launch of Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 has been severely judged by Red Hat, accusing the competitor to offer the product while still unsuitable for enterprise deployment • the interoperability agreement between XenSource and Microsoft has been hit as well by VMware, accusing competitors to take advantage from open source community work without providing anything back • and finally the launch of XenEnteprise, by XenSource itself, has been compromised by its own CEO's declarations, stating Xen actually isn't enterprise-ready In this very confused scenario the most direct XenSource competitor, Virtual Iron, which is going to deliver a virtualization product based on Xen as well, decided to talk with virtualization.info: Mike Grandinetti, Chief Marketing Officer, offers company's point of view on Xen maturity, Red Hat involvement in the project, value of XenSource agreement with Microsoft and VMware future."
