"The Enomalism Virtualized Management Console is a powerful web-based systems administrator and management tool for XEN hypervisor. Servers with hundreds of multiple isolated Virtual Private Servers can be managed like a standalone server with Enomalism tools which include a VPS creation wizard and templates which facilitate VPS configuration, loading applications and centralized software management and deployment." It's completely open-source, they say, yet I can't find any info on what license they're using (but I suspect the GPL).

The GUI interface looks quite nice - there's a screenshot of what looks like a cute 3D visualiser too. It doesn't say what version of Xen they're using too - although since they mention using the Twisted framework I guess they must have at least started with Xen 2.0 (which used Twisted in its control tools).

It's not posible to run Windows 2003 Server within a Xen vm.
Just look at the screenshot and comparit it to this screenshot:

Read the whole page http://www.enomalism.com/Screen_Shots.286.0.html :
"Windows 2000 and Windows XP are currently supported using Win4Lin Pro"
For the Nagios, it does say in the screenshot "Nagios 3-D Status world screen"

It is possible to run windows in Xen vm if you have access to a AMD Pacifica or Intel VT processor, many major developers have access to these chips...now whether this pacticular instance is a hoax or not will come out in the wash...but it IS now possible to run Windows OSs on Xen with the release of 3.0...just FYI

Thank you everyone who’s posted comments. I’d like to take the opportunity to address some of the posts.
We are in the early stages of developing this system. This is not a Hoax.
We are running our Windows tests using Win4Lin Pro, and yes XEN2.0 doesn’t support Windows. In the near feature we are planning on getting Windows running with XEN3.0, but we still have some work to do in that regard (any volunteers?). We may just do an initial release without Windows support, although ReactOS is definitely worth a closer look if your looking for a Windows friendly Linux distro.
In respect to the screenshot looking like VMWare ESX. Yes it does, it will probably be changed in the near future to avoid any conflicts with the VMware copyright. I personally did the design, so comments are welcome and encouraged.
Python is hands down the best Event-driven programming languages around today. We are currently considering either Twisted or cherryPy for the web framework.
The license is yet to be determined, but it will mostly likely be either a LGPL, Mozilla or BSD style license. This should be decided shortly.
To be honest, we never expected this kind of response to our proposed project. It's been absolutely astounding the amount of interest we've received in the last few days. We’ve had more then 10,000 visitors today. Dare I say open source virtualization is poised to be huge in the coming year.
We are looking forward to getting more feed back, including any feature requests and design comments. If you’re interested in getting involved with the development of the control system, please feel free to get in touch with us.

I've been keeping my eye on python web application technologies. With all the talk of dot Net vs. Java, it's still good to see people building on python.
As for Twisted, non-blocking I/O and asynchronous sockets seems to be the best way to go these days. I am a bit confused and overwhelmed each time I surf the twisted website, but maybe it's worth a closer look.
