Virtual Iron tested

http://www.physorg.com/news94232933.html

During tests of Virtual Iron 3.5, eWEEK Labs was particularly impressed with the product’s provisioning capabilities: We simply plugged our virtualization host servers into a management network, and PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) booted them from Virtual Iron’s management server. Once the servers were up, we could begin creating and assigning virtual machines to our nodes right away.

No hidden or trial offers, and no purchase necessary. Publications are absolutely free to those who qualify One of the biggest differences between Virtual Iron 3.5 and early Xen-based virtualization products is Virtual Iron 3.5′s ability to virtualize pretty much any x86- or x86-64-based operating system – without a special, Xen-aware kernel.

Check out this article about Virtual Iron, it’s got a review of the platform, very cool, worth a read if you’re wondering what the Virtual Iron/VMWare debate is about.
