Hello,

I am a system manager of a datacenter. Is this moment, we about 30-40 xen servers running 2 or 3 domUs each of them. We are now using (standalone) xen over debian lenny. We manage each xen server independently, but we are looking for a central management console.

At this moment, I have the doubt about using citrix xenserver (the free edition) or XCP. I didn't know much about XCP until a couple of weeks, but I've been testing it and it seems to offer almost anything you have with xenserver. Its only lacks compared with xenserver is the graphical console (it's not a real problem for me) and access to the VM console (although I haven't tried yet, it seems that there are solutions to access to the consoles), so I'm thinking about using XCP instead of XenServer.

But, my main reservation is the mature of XCP. Is it mature enough to be used in a production environment? What is your opinion?
