XenServer has some good features, but you really can't compare VMware Server with XenServer. I have many customers that were impressed to be able to run 4 or 5 VMs on VMware Server. Once we got them moved to ESX on the same hardware they couldn't believe that they were running 20 to 25 VMs on the same hardware. That being said back end disk configuration is the most important design consideration on any virutalization product.
