I want to know what kind of Cloud infrastructure is used by 1and1.co.uk to sell dynamic clouds. Does anybody have any idea?

Most of the providers out there sell XEN VPS in the name of cloud and I don't think 1and1.co.uk is any different.

Agreed, it is probably just an Xen VPS

1and1.co.uk also supports Windows cloud servers and XEN does not support Windows. I don't think 1and1.co.uk is using XEN.

Xen does indeed support Windows, and has for some time now.

as of Xen version 3.0, unmodified versions of Microsoft Windows and other proprietary operating systems can also run as guests if the CPU supports x86 virtualization

I have not been able to understand one thing. How can companies pass on normal VPS as cloud? Don't customers demand high availability solution which can be achieved using multiple physical servers?
