The good folks at Citrix have is working on a new release of XenServer codenamed “Midnight Ride”, and a public beta is supposed to surface in March 2010.

Some of the new features are, but not limited to:

Granular Role-based access controls within XenCenter
Dynamic Memory Control & Overcommit
Enhanced snapshots, including full system state and  one-click revert
Administrative logging and audit reports
Automation for Workload Balancing
Host Power Management
StorageLink Site Recovery for business continuity
Enhanced CPU comptibility for XenMotion
Streamlined XenCenter interface
Support for “Supplementary Packs” for hardware vendor-specific features (i.e. Dell, HP)

I’m particularly excited about memory overcommit, can’t wait to see how this will perform on a real live system.
