Thoughts on Xen - Xen has proven to be stable, secure, high performance, opensource baremetal hypervisor, running on multiple hardware platforms and architectures including x86, x86_64, IA64, and ARM. Xen supports all the common operating systems. Xen pioneered lightweight paravirtualization, and also supports the latest hardware virtualization features available in the new CPUs and chipsets. Xen Cloud Platform is the next step for Xen, moving forward from only providing the core hypervisor to providing a full virtualization platform.
