Looking at Citrix Xenserver there is a paid for and free version the same as VMWare.
Looking into it the free version on both side are both as gimped as the other, if you want to do HA you need to spend $1K on Xen by the looks of it so just why is it better when you move out of the free section and into the paid for section?

I am looking to move the site i am at to veeam, they currently using CA arcserve and vcb proxy with vsphere 4.1 but it is no longer generating vmdk files, so there is no DR solution at the moment, pretty crap. I tried everything to get it working apart from reinstalling vsphere and ca arcserve which is next thing to do. I downloaded a 30 day trial but the esx boxes root passwords are not documented, now i have to change root password of all the esx boxes. One thing after another.
Veeam is meant to be the ultimate vm backup solution.

Veeam is superb - it does have some failings though (such as you can't create a backup job and add to it you create a job for each VM or pool etc.) the reason why you don't create a pool is because if it fails and you want to re-run it you end up re-backing up the lot.
