What is Xenon™?
XenonTM is an enterprise-grade open-source virtualization platform developed by Citrix. It allows multiple virtual machines or 'guests' to run on a single physical server leading to greater efficiency and flexibility of hardware resources.
Some key features of XenonTM include:
- Paravirtualization - The guests run optimize OS builds for communication with XenonTM leading to high performance.
- Workload Consolidation - Multiple workloads can co-exist on a single server driving up utilization rates.
- Live Migration - VMs can be moved from one host to another without any downtime for maintenance.
- High Availability - Critical VMs can be rapidly brought up on new hosts in case any host fails.
- Excellent security isolation between VMs on the same physical hardware.
With its enterprise-class capabilities for consolidation, efficiency, and business continuity, XenonTM is a popular choice for virtualization across data centers and cloud environments. Leading companies like Amazon Web Services, IBM Cloud rely on XenonTM for their infrastructure.
