Xen Enterprise Grade Open Source Virtualization

What Virtualization Enables

OS virtualization is achieved by inserting a layer of software between the OS and the underlying server hardware. This layer is responsible for allowing multiple OS images (and their running applications) to share the resources of a single server. Each OS believes that it has the resources of the entire machine under its control, but beneath its feet, the virtualization layer, or hypervisor, transparently ensures that resources are properly shared between different OS images and their applications.

What the Xen hypervisor is:

  • The industry’s fastest and most secure hypervisor.
  • Open source software, collaboratively developed by over 20 of the world’s leading enterprise infrastructure vendors, yet backed by an enterprise quality and service focused vendor, Citrix, which ensures the quality and reliability enterprises demand from their virtualization vendor.
  • A common, open industry standard code base that supports all operating systems with high performance and security.
  • Open for innovation with the addition of additional value added features by Xen ecosystem vendors, and for distribution by OEMs and operating system vendors alike.
  • Available free for download at www.getxen.org and www.xensource.com.
