XenServer 5.5, also known as Project George, was released today at Citrix Synergy.
From what I can see Citrix have been busy working with Storage and Backup partners to integrate Xen into their products and vice versa, which is a good move. Storage and VM cloning/backup has always been lacking from the previous versions, so this really moves things forward.
More intersting is the inlcusion of Dynamic Workload Balancing, which is something I asked for a while back, so it's good to see that in there. This allows VMs to be moved around XenServer hosts based on user-definable policies, e.g. high CPU usage, which has obvious advantages for all kinds of scenarios.
