In trying to establish feature comparisons among VMware ESX 3, Virtual Iron 3.5, and Xen 3, I've come up with a few questions that I can't seem to answer on my own. Any answers would be appreciated. 1. Does Virtual Iron support memory oversubscription similar to the way that ESX does? I'm thinking not, but don't knowfor sure. 2. Can I move a Virtual Iron VM from Virtual Iron to a XEN environment? I'm interested here mostly for portability -- some people don't want to be locked in to a certain vendor 3. What densities are people seeing with Virtual Iron? (5:1, 10:1, 20:1?) 4. Does Virtual Iron implement any paravirtualization capabilities like Xen (for open source OSes), or does it rely solely on the Full virtualization? I'm thinking the latter. 5. Does Virtual Iron handle RTC/descheduling issues better than/as well as ESX? 6. Is it possible to grow Virtual Iron VM disks? (in the manner of extending a .VMDK file in an ESX world)
