Xen 4.0
|
Xen is state-of-the-art virtualization on the PC - and it is even open source. With a high performance mainly due to it's architecture with the hypervisor and it's support for hardware virtualization - Xen sets a new standard for virtualization software. Already used in many data centers Xen has shown that it is stable and a product you can rely upon. It matches almost any feature you get from commercial virtualization software - but includes the most advanced such as virtual machine relocation and per virtual machine resource guarantees.
In August 2007 Citrix acquired XenSource, the responsible for developing Xen. Even though Citrix now offers commercial versions of Xen - the open source version continues to live at xen.org. |
