This is uninformed. I don't know why you bother to write it.
Please visit the Redhat web site and search for information on virtualization.
Here is one of the many news items one can google showing Redhat
has dropped Xen in favour of KVM. KVM is the cornerstone of Redhat's
attempt to compete with VMware solution. Xen support in Redhat
is set to expire in 2014.

Here is the 2008 announcement regarding Redhat's purchase of Qumaranet, which
may answer some questions about xen and kvm in Redhat's future (now
the present).
