<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thinking about it,i would ask (maybe
<b>Bob</b> will give me the best answer) what should be the best choise for use Openstack with XenServer regarding their versions?
<br>
Maybe an older XCP with Juno or Icehouse? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">And what about VMWare as it is as XenServer in <b>Group B</b>?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Leandro,<br>
<br>
From my experience OpenStack + XenServer is really difficult to build, but it <b>
work</b>. Newest features like neutron, advanced cinder drivers, XenServer pool's, etc is not working well. At least with XenServer 6.2 and Icehouse release. If you know both technologies and don't know which to choose then use KVM.<br>
If you want to use XenServer then community member Bob Ball (<a href="mailto:bob.ball@citrix.com" target="_blank">bob.ball@citrix.com</a>) can help you more with this.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
