I do believe we are seeing the advent of 'cloud 2.0' where the applications and their management tools will dictate which virtualization platforms they run on. IMO this is much different than what we experienced in the days of server consolidation. I've been thinking about this a bit and have a post in the works. I won’t challenge your assessment.

And the Xen team -- spearheaded by Citrix -- is not staying put.

In other words, all partitions should begin at multiples of 1 MB? Just to be sure: By “offset”, you mean the “start offset of a partition”, am I right?

I just wanted to add that since performance is such a concern when virtualizing business critical applications, another good practice to assure SLAs is to deploy a performance monitoring solution that collects and correlates metrics across the virtual infrastructure and storage to head off issues and avoid bottlenecks. It can really "save your bacon." Thanks for the informative video.
