with the large amount of new interest and unmatched features such as vGPU attract. I meet more new customers to Citrix XenServer and XenDesktop interested in tracking functionality not only for these two products, but other products such as Citrix Netscaler but their existing physical servers and hypervisors.
Many of our customers say it is important for them to protect themselves by maintaining the option to change their infrastructure and move workloads around a hybrid infrastructure consisting of physical hardware, multiple hypervisors , desktop deployments and clouds, even public.
as such I have tried to list some of the products available that can help users avoid locking or hypervisor vendor and can be used to monitor and / or manage XenServer. Covering a range of uses such custom ISP solutions, XenDesktop applications, but also a range of budgets, including free solutions (alphabetical)

bonus free product Built-in monitoring XenCenter: A wide range of settings are available for XenServer with GUI free XenCenter management including: C-state, P-State IOPS, Latency and much more . Not all of these are enabled by default. The full range of settings available for hosts and virtual machines are described in Chapter 9 of XenServer 6.2 Administration Guide.
