XenSource (Also) Announces Embedded Hypervisor
Friday, 07 September 2007 by Michel Roth
The heat is on, folks! While the all community buzz was around VMware working on a version of ESX suitable of running on flash memory, XenSource has been working on a similar feature in their XenExpress OEM Edition. So it looks like XenSource beat Citrix to the punch on this one. VMware is expected to announce their embedded hypervisor at the upcoming VMworld.

XenExpress OEM Edition enables OEMs to include a full virtualization platform as an integrated component of every server, pre-installed in system flash or on the hard disk. The new product enables the server to boot with multiple BIOS partitions at system power-on, making it ready to install and manage virtual machines. XenExpress OEM Edition offers flexible management interfaces, and full interoperability with both the Microsoft and VMware virtual machine formats.
