Novell Defends 'Unstable' Xen Claims

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-to-go dept.

daria42 writes "Novell has fired back at Red Hat's claims that the open source Xen virtualization software is not yet ready for enterprise use. 'We had all the major hardware partners that had virtualization hardware like IBM, Intel and AMD. They all stood up and said "Yes, this technology's ready, and we fully support deployments based on Xen and in combination with SUSE Linux Enterprise 10."', Novell's chief technology officer said today. 'So I guess the other vendors would not do that if it weren't ready.'"

    Opening a portal to Xen could cause a resonance cascade.

    Dr. Isaac Kleiner has been warning us about this for years.

    Yeah, you can, but what's the point? GUI belongs on a workstation, not on a server.

    You obviously don't work for Oracle.
