Comments on: Parallels CEO predicts Xen’s death http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/channel-marker/parallels-ceo-predicts-xens-death/ A SearchITChannel.com blog Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:31:55 +0000 hourly 1 By: Undisclosed http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/channel-marker/parallels-ceo-predicts-xens-death/#comment-675 Undisclosed Fri, 06 Mar 2009 21:56:46 +0000 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/channel-marker/?p=1867#comment-675 I completely disagree with Mr. Beloussov as well. I believe he fears that the successful hypervisor virtualization solutions that Citrix and VMWare provide will overtake his less-than-acceptable host-based virtualization solution called virtuozzo. The fact that Parallels is developing a hypervisor solution as well pretty much confirms that.

We were a Parallels partner for many years and relied heavily on Virtuozzo to power our initial virtualization efforts. The solution is pure garbage. Period. I would never go back to a host-based technology. Ever. Their overseas support is woefully lacking as well…. so as you can guess, I am 100% behind Citrix and wish them tremendous success!

I belive he’s just trying to create paranoia among Xen users, especially those who still believe in Open Source. This is purely propaganda, just because Parallels also sells Virtuozzo at the price of an arm and a leg, and because he knows what a pathetic excuse of a virtualization solution openvz is. Citrix’s move to make XenServer free has just put Parallels in a tight spot.
