- rickycook 9y agoas someone notes above, all Xen versions (including enterprise) are OSS so you can build and run them without paying for commercial support. the packages are just the supported, pre-built, “easy” path VMWare has very little OSS, especially for their equivalents of Xen server. Id support KVM and co before VMWare just on those grounds alone EDIT: clarity
- user5994461 9y agoThe equivalent of Xen is ESX. It's been the gold standard for virtualization for a while and there is a free edition for as long as it existed. Couldn't care less about open source. I'll prefer something that's free and works perfectly without hesitation.
- eggsome 9y agoUntil the changes announced in this blog post there were features in the free version of Xen that did not exist in the free version of ESXi (like live migration of hosts - without shared storage!)
- Scarbutt 9y agoYou need dedicated supported hardware though.
