What is Server Virtualization?

• Concept of virtualization has existed in various forms in computing since the early 1960s

• In virtualization, physical resources are abstracted and shared by multiple operating systems


The Case for Server Virtualisation

• Servers are costly to maintain• Costs encompass provisioning, housing, power, cooling, management,

etc.

• Servers are poorly utilized• Typically one workload per server

• Physical servers are inflexible• More complex management than desktops


• Division founded by Xen creators in 2005 as XenSource, Inc.• Leaders of the Xen project

• Acquired by Citrix Systems – Oct. 2007

• Home of the Xen hypervisor• Open source, next-generation architecture

• High-performance, bare metal virtualization

• Delivers commercial virtualization products• Commercially packaged and supported Xen virtualization platform

for Windows and Linux - Citrix XenServer

A Brief History of the Citrix Virtualisation Management Division


Where does come from?

• Xen community led by Citrix

• Fastest time to market for new hardware and new features

• Major active contributors: HP, IBM, Intel, AMD, RedHat, and Novell

Paravirtualisation

• Relies on “enlightened” operating systems

• Kernel and I/O paths know they are being virtualized

• Cooperation provides best performance
