Performance Isolation of a Misbehaving Virtual Machine With Xen, VMware and Solaris Containers

Overview In recent years, there have been a number of papers comparing the performance of different virtualization environments for x86 such as Xen, VMware and UML. In this paper, the authors present the results of running a variety of different misbehaving applications under three different virtualization environments VMware, Xen, and Solaris containers. These are each examples of a larger class of virtualization techniques namely full virtualization, paravirtualization and generic operating systems with additional isolation layers.

Microsoft strips features from 'Viridian'

The move limits Viridian's initial scope and gives more breathing room to competing projects - most notably Xen and VMware. The features will be included in a future version of Viridian, formally called Windows Server Virtualization, the company said.

Far from quiet on the virtual front

In particular the V2V capability brought in by the Invirtus agreement is interesting as it allows users to migrate virtual machines from VMware to Virtual Iron or Virtual Server - and perhaps Xen at some future stage - and vice versa.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance.
