XenServer shames Virtual Iron

I find it interesting that "Patrick" recommends doing a Bake-Off of all solutions and his best answer for not choosing XenServer from Citrix is that "it seems to be geared toward a single server environment". now, that doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me. Why did Citrix pay 500 Million dollars for a solution, that if only used for one server, is clearly not an enterprise solution?

Answer: That was the best thing he could come up with to justify his choice of Virtual Iron.

The bottom line is that Virtual Iron has done an admirable job at creating a UI around a technology that they didnt create. XenServer (previously XenSource - previously Xen) employs the brains that created Virtual Iron's technology. XenServer simply does it better, faster and with much more agility now using other Citrix technology in virtual application and virtual desktop delivery.

Citrix sets the standard. Virtual Iron hasnt even made the playoffs.
