If you remember listening to a recent Virtualization Report Podcast earlier this month, you may well remember the back and forth “Performance Comparison” news coming out of both camps – VMware and XenSource.

VMware initially offered a white paper comparing the performance between VMware’s ESX Server 3.0.1 product and Xen 3.0.3. In that report, VMware’s product clearly outperformed the open-source Xen solution in almost every category it tested. In doing so, the VMware product was deemed the superior hypervisor platform.

Which is faster? your configuration, your setup will determine that, benchmarks will give you an idea, a mute point though if you use VMWare and that’s the virtualization platform of choice. Speak with people, check out the vmware/xen site and work out how you can optimize the platform, how it can be configured for you and your business.  Do check out the article, it’s very good.
