Xenproject
The Xen Project is an open-source hypervisor that allows multiple operating systems to run on a single hardware computer. It works by virtualizing the hardware, creating isolated environments called virtual machines (VMs) for each operating system. Xen is a Type-1 hypervisor, meaning it runs directly on the hardware, rather than on top of another operating system like Type-2 hypervisors. This direct hardware access contributes to its performance and efficiency.
Xen supports various operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and BSD. It uses a microkernel architecture, with
The Xen Project is managed by the Xen Project Advisory Board and hosted by the Linux Foundation.
