Citrix XenServer and epicor products

Xen works, but VMware is the best. It's more polished, more stable, less
hassle.

Anyone out there running citrix XenServer? Do you run Epicor on a VM with it?
What is your opinion in comparison to other Hypervisor options?

Currently I am exploring other VM technology options as I dont believe that the current solution we are using will allow us to meet our Disaster Recovery goals. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

I am using a virtualized Epicor 8.3.400 server within XenServer (30 users for a single server). The performance has been good. The conversion was painless (for this server). I did not try Hypervisor.

I know for Epicor 9.x there is a strong recommendation from other users to use Solid State Drives. This unfortunately was not an option with the HP Array I have. I will be testing in XenServer, but do not hold much hope of installing there.

I relied on external hardware supplier opinions including HP, our Network Consultant, EMC Corporation, and Dell. Most were pushing VMWare, but stated XenServer was acceptable. Based on a strong recommendation with our network consultant we went with the Citrix option.
