[Xen-users] XEN and Windows Guests in critical environment (hospital)

[Jordi Espasa Clofent <sistemes.llistes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

One friend of mine are thinking about how to implement virtualization in 
their critical job environment (a hospital).
The main "problem" is there are a lot of medical application builded in 
.NET tecnology; so, I view three possible options:
1.  Win server with VMware and win guests (IIS to support .NET).
2.  UNIX/Linux server with XEN (or XenEnterprise) and win guests
3.  UNIX/Linux server with XEN (or XenEnterprise) and UNIX/Linux guests 
(Apache with mod_mono to support .NET)
I think the next about each one option:

1. The current preference because stability and windows compatibility.
2. My personal preference, but I'm not sure about the performance of win 
guests on XEN Unix based system.
3. The "ideal" economical solution, but probably the more insecure in 
terms of stability.
Let me to repeat: it's a CRITICAL environment and will be not any 
error-edge.
Any argued reasoning will be welcomed.
