I'm new in virtualization technologies and have found Citrix Xen Server

Fernando,
Citrix XenServer is a product built upon the open source Xen platform. The Open Source community now supports a complete build image downloadable in iso format to try called Xen Cloud Platform. It does not have the free GUI tool built-in but there are several options already available to manage XCP - see http://www.xen.org/products/cloud_projects.html. 

Thanks.

Stephen,

Thanks for information and link provided. I'm gonna check it
But.. I've seen some ISPs are offering hosted dedicated servers with Citrix Xenserver preinstalled at no charge so.. it is very interesting at least for me.
Do you think next XenServer releases are going to continue being "free" and based on open source xen and not in a branch of it

Best Regards,
Fernando
