Xen

Turbovps XenServer Family of server virtualization products delivers to the market the power of Xen paravirtualization in a full featured, enterprise-ready, and easy-to-use virtualization solution.

It is the industry's first open, enterprise class virtualization platform aimed at the consolidation and efficient deployment of Windows and Linux through a mainstream virtualization platform.

It includes the Xen hypervisor, easy to use installers for the host software and guests, Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) conversion tools to bring existing Linux server operating system installations into the virtualization environment, and a powerful multi-server management console in a single affordable package.

Yes, it's really that easy. XenServer is a robust and easy-to-use virtualization platform for running Windows guests. XenServer creates a dedicated virtualization platform based on the Xen hypervisor, providing an open, proven and supported solution for server virtualization. It's easily installed using either a CD or network based installation and delivers the performance, security and openness of the Xen technology for x86 server virtualization. You can then easily populate your server with virtual machines. We even include all the tools you need to get virtualized right away.

Supports Standard Hardware and Drivers
XenServer fully utilizes the benefits of hardware assisted virtualization on both Intel® VT platforms and AMD® Virtualization (AMD-V™) platforms via Xen paravirtualization. This hardware support provides exceptional performance and response times that closely rival non-virtualized speeds.

XenServer leverages standard Linux device drivers for the broadest hardware support of any virtualization platform.

* Supports wide variety of local storage including IDE, SATA, SCSI, and SAS direct attached storage
* Supports Fiber Channel based SANs with boot from SAN for diskless blades
* Supports iSCSI based SANs

Fully Supported
Turbovps offers annual support plans for XenEnterprise, enabling customers to file issues and receive support from our Technical Support Engineers. In addition, free web-based resources, including online product documentation, a knowledge base, and discussion forums, are available.
Enhanced Serviceability

XenEnterprise makes it easy for users to collect information required to assist with support and problem resolution, and to send it directly to Turbovps support. Integrated hotfix management allows users to keep the software up-to-date easily.


The Highest Performing Virtualization Software
Enterprises are embracing Xen for server virtualization because it enables them to increase server utilization, consolidate servers, and dramatically reduce complexity and overall total cost of ownership. Xen is the fastest and most secure virtualization software available today, enabling every server to support multiple virtual servers each with resource guarantees to ensure that its application layer SLA is met.

Server Virtualization with the Xen Hypervisor
With Xen virtualization, a thin software layer known as the Xen hypervisor is inserted between the server’s hardware and the operating system. This provides an abstraction layer that allows each physical server to run one or more “virtual servers,” effectively decoupling the operating system and its applications from the underlying physical server.

Run Applications on Any Server
Once a virtual server image has been created it can run on any server, at any time, and multiple virtual servers can simultaneously share a single server, increasing its utilization while receiving a resource guarantee that ensures that application layer performance criteria are met.

Xen Is an Open Source Technology
The Xen hypervisor is a unique open source technology, developed collaboratively by the world’s best engineers at over 20 of the most innovative data center solution vendors, including Intel, AMD, Cisco, Dell, Egenera, HP, IBM, Mellanox, Network Appliance, Novell, Red Hat, SGI, Sun, Unisys, Veritas, Voltaire, and of course, XenSource. Xen is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL2).

And best of all, as an open source technology, Xen is available free for download. XenSource also provides simple tools for the community to download, install, test and develop using Xen.

Xen Virtualization Provides Greater Flexibility and Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Xen enables IT managers to increase utilization of server resources, achieve server consolidation, scale their test & development environments, and achieve greater business continuity through dynamic provisioning. But to scale Xen deployments across the enterprise, users need a comprehensive tool set that enables them to deploy, control and monitor their Xen based data center.

Paravirtualization Provides Near-Native Performance
Xen’s paravirtualization technology is widely acknowledged as the fastest and most secure virtualization software in the industry. Xen offers near-native performance for virtual servers with up to 10 times less overhead than proprietary offerings, and benchmarked overhead of well under 5% in most cases compared to 35% or higher overhead rates for other virtualization technologies.

Xen 3.0 Brings Features for Today’s Enterprise Servers
With the 3.0 release, Xen extends its feature leadership with functionality required to virtualize the servers found in today’s enterprise data centers. New features include:

* Support for up to 32-way SMP guest
* Intel® VT-x and AMD Pacifica hardware virtualization support
* PAE support for 32 bit servers with over 4 GB memory
* x86/64 support for both AMD64 and EM64T

Lean and Secure

Xen is exceptionally lean-- less than 50,000 lines of code. That translates to extremely low overhead and near-native performance for guests. Xen re-uses existing device drivers (both closed and open source) from Linux, making device management easy. Moreover Xen is robust to device driver failure and protects both guests and the hypervisor from faulty or malicious drivers.

Fastest Live Relocation
Xen's live relocation capability, combined with its extraordinary performance, have led analysts to pronounce it the first virtualization technology that is capable of being deployed in the heart of the data-center, bringing the benefits of server consolidation and increased utilization to the vast majority of servers in the enterprise.

Utility Based Computing
Xen is a key enabler in enterprises' aspirations towards a utility-based computing model, in which any server can run any operating system and any application, at any time, with dynamic load balancing of resources both within each server, between the guests, and across servers.

Per VM Resource Guarantees
Xen provides superb resource partitioning, for CPU, memory, and block and network I/O. This resource protection model leads to improved security because guests and drivers are DoS-proof. Xen is fully open to scrutiny by the security community and its security is continuously tested. Xen is also the foundation for a Multi-Level Secure system architecture being developed by XenSource, IBM and Intel.

An Emerging Open Industry Standard
Xen enjoys extraordinary community support. It is a de-facto, industry endorsed open source virtualization standard backed by the industry's leading enterprise solution vendors.

Xen is, and always will be, open sourced, uniting the industry and the Xen ecosystem to speed the adoption of virtualization in the enterprise.
