So my i introduce myself,

i worked with xen Server or Xen Hypervisor since xenserver 5 until 8.2
It was licensed by Citrix with support.  So the future in 2018 of xenserver seemed not so clear so we changed to nutanix and had only legacy VMs on xen server 8.2 wirh no support contract.

Now i am offered a project to migrate  XEn Desktop and Apps from VMware to xen, because auf the license costs.

So Xen Server 8.4 is able to work with VDI, but this versions had License costs therefore i had following questions:

is the use of xen Hypervisor project recommanded from citrix ? Can i use this Hypervisor ?

what is the differnce between XCP-NG and Xen Hypervisor in this context ?

Regards

Uwe
