Xen virtualization
There are several kinds of virtualizations software for Linux and the other free operating systems. One of these software is call Xen. Open Sistemas is an official partner of Xensource and thus it can provide technical support for this free software.
Xen is an open code software which permits to implement virtual machines. Its goal is the execution of different operative systems in any hardware. To do this, it uses a technique called paravirtualization which permits to increase the performance levels compared to these levels when using traditional virtualization.
The main applications of virtualization and Xen are:
- Server consolidation
- Hardware independence
- Virtual Housing
Open Sistemas is an official Solution Provider in Spain of Xen based virtualizations and some of its workers are Xen certified engineers. Moreover, Open Sistemas has increased its collaboration with manufacturers such as Novell and RedHat. Actually, thanks to the implantation of Xen in SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 and in the new RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 it is now possible to implant a whole virtualized infrastructure ensuring a better use of the IT resources.
