Hi all, first post here. I've been working with Vmware for a while and now I'm trying to learn about Xen/XCP. I'm finding myself very confused between the two. Haven't been able to find a product matrix. I know that XCP uses Xen. But I cannot find anything regarding the benefit of the one versus the other anywhere on the net or in the mailing list archives. So, I was wondering if you guys can enlighten me? Which is best for what? Why?
 
Also, I know both use a lot of 3rd party tools. So, if there is a preference for one product over the other, can you also tell me what you use to manage it?
 
Just to mention, cloud computing is not something I'm interested in. That seems relegated to people trying to provide/sell services. I'm looking specifically at building highly available web farms and databases using virtual tech. So far, no plans for building out something that I would sell to others directly, no pushing my vms up to Amazon, not reselling any VPS, etc.
 
thanks!
