Just read through the virtualization info today and found the interesting post regarding SAP internal is going to virtualize with Citrix XenServer. I will not copy the full story as you can read more from here.
As the article stated, there are 500 machines which will be virtualized in Citrix Xenserver, are not be used in production environment. Those machines are development, test and training environment for SAP internally. We know SAP is 1 of the heavy user for VMware since years back. A move to Citrix Xenserver did surprise myself, but obviously it does provide more choice to SAP internal.

I heard some rumors about the press release accidentally left out the a fine print of “terminal” in front of “500 xxx servers”. If you know what I mean.
For those who have access to the following SAP Note
SAP Note 1122387 -Linux: SAP Support in virtualized environments dated 4-Mar-2009.
May be you would like to take a look at the following section “Virtualization technologies which are unsupported for productive SAP environments.”
What do you meant on this “Virtualization technologies which are unsupported for productive SAP environments.”
I am little confused about the statement
Micro$oft, pls refer to SAP Note 1122387. According to SAP Note you can make it work to run or virtualize SAP on those platform but when you hit any problem pls don’t call SAP for support.
