I got to talk to the XEN and Provisioning Server engineer (Ardence) for about 3 minutes before I had to run off to a focus group. My 2 questions were:
1) (Q) Does it have the same problem with VMware with both ESX and Citrix trying to manage the CPU? (A) No, XEN takes advantage of the Hypervisor on the CPU.
2) (Q) How can I deploy servers do fast with a template? (A) It takes only seconds to deploy a server. It takes a snapshot of the template, gives you the original template and re-writes the template so you don't have to wait for the template to copy and give you the new copy like VMware does.
3) (Q) Do I need a full disk image for each server I deploy with Provision Server? (A) No, only 1 disk image and some config files for all the provisioned servers.
