Yesterday Michael Bowen sent over some materials from a presentation he attended comparing the biggest players in the Virtualization market: WMWare, Citrix, and Microsoft. There is a lot of helpful information here for programs looking into virtualization.

Virtualization Comparisons

Virtualization Q & A

Document one is a pdf of a slide show with lots of good comparison charts and features lists. Document two is the Q&A from the presentation.

Also, on the LSTech list this morning, William Guyton points out that a recent informal survey of LSC funded programs showed that most looking into virutalization are using ESXi from VMWare. You can download ESXi from the VMWare website.
