| | The Xen Virtual Machine Monitor () |
| | Xen is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. | | | The Xen Virtual Machine Monitor - Modern computers are sufficiently powerful to use virtualization to present the illusion of many smaller virtual machines (VMs), each running a separate operating system instance. | | | This is particularly true when virtual machines are owned by mutually untrusting users. |

| | Xen virtual machine monitor (tummy.com, ltd. Journal Entry) |
| | The way Xen works is that you boot a machine monitor, and have that monitor load your "xen0" privileged kernel. | | | This is an idea that is familiar to anyone who has used systems like the IBM System 390, in which the monitor software is used to divide up one single, large, physical machine into many smaller ones. | | | So, on the host you would create the virtual machine root file-systems and the like, then you create a configuration file for the host listing things like how much memory it gets, if it uses DHCP or has a static IP, what kernel it uses, and more. |

| | Xen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Xen is an open-source virtual machine monitor, or hypervisor, developed by the University of Cambridge. | | | Denali uses paravirtualisation to provide high-performance virtual machines on x86 computers. | | | The primary benefits to virtualisation include extracting the most work possible from a single machine, and securing software programs through the use of separate virtual operating systems (similar to using a chroot jail, but more secure.) Virtualisation can also be used to run different and incompatible operating systems on the same computer. |
