KVM on Linux.  Out of the box Red Hat or Centos will provide
most of what you want if you install the virtualization packages.
I use it and love it.

To run a vm within a vm, follow the instructions on this page.
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/NestedVirt

If you'd like a way to do virtualization like the big guys,
consider OpenStack.  You can have it installed and running in
a few minutes using http://openstack.redhat.com/Quickstart.
