Analysis
Jul 17, 20082 mins

In part 2 of my interview with Simon Crosby, Citrix CTO Virtualization, we delve deeper into Microsoft Hyper-V, why Simon is so excited about Microsoft’s launch of Hyper-V, how Hyper-V is based on Xen as its reference model, why Simon sees Hyper-V as a good solution for SMBs, whether Red Hat’s oVirt has any legs or not, and how Xen plans to be the dominant virtualization player in cloud computing. After part 1 and part 2 of this interview, I think we covered a lot of ground about virtualization.
