virtual iron

I came across virtual iron (Virtual Iron - True Server Virtualization for Everyone) which seems to be pretty solid.

The problem with Xen as it is on RedHat seems to be the lack of PV drivers. VI seems to have these in order and performance is good. VI doesnt have support as many guest OSes as vmware but then again I only need to virtualize linux and windows ...

The only thing I am a little worried about is their use of management servers and PXE to boot vms.

Thanks!
