Very personal opinion:-

 Target #1 Stay away from Sun's Xen Hypervisor (even they will go up 3.3.1), unless you are within Sun.

 Target #2  Be able easily install RHEL 5.3 (2)  and port the most
recent MQs Repos from XenSource.org to your box in 2-3 hr.

Resume:-
In general, HP Boxes are preferable for RHEL & Xen ports.
If Sun's boxes are good for Linux and Xen Linux Dom0 fine.
I just don't know exactly.

You are not focused on Xen Software and i guess Xen Vendor been
selected is the most important

Hello!

Please, help me, I'm totally lost choosing basic budget server for XEN.
The variants are Sun (X2200 M2 or Sun X2250 M2) or maybe HP Proliant DL160 G5p.
Or maybe some IBM server?
Which X2200 configuration will perform better, two Opteron dual-core 22xx or
single quad-core 23xx?
Which one performing better nowadays, Opteron or Xeon? I know that 2-3 years
ago Opteron was the better choice for virtualization, what about now?
Is Xeon 54xx better than Opteron 23xx ?

Thanks in advance!
