Hi All!

    Thanks very much for you quick reply (everyone!).
    I understand that I would need VT hardware to run such a setup, but i was looking more for specific of peoples succuss (or failure!) stories regarding trying to deploy xen in a production windows environment.
    Also just to clarify is the commercial version (XenEnterprise) actually released yet?

Thanks again everyone!

Also if your looking for a vendor that will support your xen setup I copied
this from another list:

A really neat vendor to add to your list is Virtual Iron

One aspect of their approach to VT is to treat each node on an
infiniband network as a NUMA node in a single image scale up approach.

It is public info that Intel Capital is investing there.

I was under the impression that VI had now abandoned the "virtual SMP cluster" 
approach, and were concentrating on providing management products for their Xen-based package.

Apparently they were finding it so hard to persuade potential customers to use 
Infiniband it was more like selling the IB adapters than software...  I think 
the cluster SMP stuff was predicated on people having IB infrastructure, 
that's not yet widely deployed.

Cheers,
Mark
