You could use VMware server or player as an alternative to kvm under Centos. VMware ESXi loads as the base OS, so you have to wipe everything and start over. The latest release (5.0) claims that virtualization can be 'nested' - that is you could run kvm (etc.) on a guest, although performance probably wouldn't be great.
Any idea what the new version is based on? Is it still a 2.4 kernel (and based on RHEL 3)?
Don't think they admit to any relationship to Linux. uname just says VMkernel 5.0.0 #1 with a build number. Most of the user level programs are implemented with busybox. It has ssh/scp, but no rsync.
It was - the docs for the version that was around in early '09 *said* that the latest release was based on RHEL 3.
