Course Overview
Xen is an open-source virtualisation technology providing the ability to run multiple operating systems on one physical machine. Due to the nature of Xen, there is only a minimal loss of performance of the operating systems when compared to a native install.
Several operating systems are supported including Solaris®, Linux®, FreeBSD®, Windows® and NetBSD®.
The Xen Virtualisation course is based on the open-source version of Xen using Enterprise Linux 5 as the host operating system.
