Thank you guys.

One last question: This 3 node setup is just a proof of concept of a bigger
architecture (with around 30 nodes). I personally would prefer use KVM, so
we can use Kilo and Neutron, but for some political reasons, we are really
pushed to use XenServer (no problem about XS itself, I think it is great),
but we don't have enough time and "hands" to make it work.

Thinking about it,i would ask (maybe *Bob* will give me the best answer)
what should be the best choise for use Openstack with XenServer regarding
their versions?
Maybe an older XCP with Juno or Icehouse?

And what about VMWare as it is as XenServer in *Group B*?

Thank you again.
