Hi Guys / Gals, I work for a hosting company in the UK. We prefer to use FreeBSD for our s= hared hosting platform, over anything Linux based. However, we've hit a pr= oblem with virtualisation. We want to use XenServer (iscsi SAN storage) by Citrix and FreeBSD. We've = got a testing setup in place, so we can play around with the features. Fre= eBSD runs and installs quite well within this environment, along with Linux= distros, Windows etc. There is something called XenTools (commercial soft= ware from Citrix), amongst other things its main job is to facilitate VM mi= gration between nodes when using XenServer (it is awesome, no ping drops, a= t worst higher latency for two pings and then it's done). This runs on Lin= ux ... but there is no FreeBSD version. We're willing to sponsor development of XenTools for FreeBSD, if anyone out= there is interested in getting involved. Regards, James Smith, M247 Ltd
