Hello, I have a node with OpenVZ and several VPS based on CentOS5. My idea is migrate to a node with Xen. What do you think is the best solution? I know it's possible to run OpenVZ under Xen but do not know its reliability and performance. Thanks.

Switch to Proxmox which allows OpenVZ and KVM virtualization on the same VPS node. KVM is gaining ground on Xen and from my own statistics, seems more preferred by clients, so Proxmox would help you out tremendously

Bad performance, stick with one virtualization layer per physical server. A VPS company actually does this and lots of there clients report bad Disk performance and always complain about issues there. They sell OVZ VPS under a VPS.net instance which is XEN

To run OpenVZ under Xen, you would need to create a Xen VPS then install the OpenVZ kernel and software within the VPS. This will result in slower performance.
