In this open source guide, we strive to dispel some of the confusion surrounding the leading open source platforms and hypervisors. In many cases, open source virtualization platforms offer the same competitive features, pricing and scalability of their proprietary counterparts and also provide superior support and access to the source code.

So whether you're evaluating open source virtualization products or have already deployed an open source virtual server environment and want further information, this guide covers the issues and questions surrounding installing, configuring and using the leading open source platforms. This guide features tips, walkthroughs, guides and podcasts on all the major open source hypervisors and virtualization environments, including Citrix Systems Inc.'s XenServer 5.5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, Oracle VM and Oracle VirtualBox, as well as a section on how the open source virtualization platforms stack up against the competition.
