Virtual Iron figures when its 4.2 release pops out this month it'll be the first Xen-based virtualization solution to offer such niceties as LiveSnapshots of virtual servers for hot backup and patch management; the ability to dynamically increase the size of disk groups and virtual disks; and multi-pathing for virtual server Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks in support of business continuity and redundancy.

It also includes broader operating system support - like Red Hat 5 and SUSE 10 - and packaged tools that appear to the administrator like a virtual CD.

Virtual Iron is trying to associate itself with disaster recovery, high availability and dynamic capacity management,

There's a free version that supports 12 virtual machines, an Enterprise Edition for $499 a socket and an Extended Enterprise Edition with all the bells and whistles for $799 a socket.
