XenSource, which this summer was acquired by Citrix Systems for $500 million, shared its vision for the future of virtualization at the Wednesday morning keynote of the Interop show in New York City.

When XenSource founder and CTO Simon Crosby first took the stage, he made sure to point out to the audience that XenSource is the exact opposite of VMware, since the company’s goal is to deliver virtualization everywhere. “We want virtualization to be a component of the enterprise IT stack,” Crosby said.

XenSource took the first step toward its vision in 2005 when the company introduced its Xen product, commoditizing the hypervisor — a virtualization platform that allows multiple operating systems to run on a host computer at the same time.
