XEN

Xen is a virtualization system supporting both paravirtualization and hardware-assisted FV.

  • Introduced by Barham at Uni of Cambridge,UK in 2003 as part of XenoServers Project.
  • Most widely used and Studied VMMs on x86.
  • Allows multiple commodity OS’es to share real physical H/W in a secure & resource managed fashion.
  • XEN achieves the same with out significant compromise on performance or functionality.
  • XEN popularized the conception of para-virtualization.

The basic operations such as START, SHUTDOWN, PAUSE, RESUME are implemented. The program lists all the domains configured and gets user input to perform operations on them.
