Proven Within Largest Hyperscale Operations The Xen Project Hypervisor is the No. 1 choice for the largest hyperscale clouds in the industry Examples: AWS, CenturyLink, GoGrid, RackSpace, SoftLayer, Verizon, VirtuStream Designed for Security Xen Project software offers a multi-layered approach to security with the ability to wall off intruders through Driver Domains, Stub Domains, Xen Security Modules Driving Innovation GPU Virtualization (e.g. XenGT), Cloud Operating Systems (e.g. ClickOS, ErlangOnXen, Elixir, HalVM, our own MirageOS and OSv) and ARM Support (new, lean and simple) Extreme Versatility: Going Beyond Cloud Computing Our technology is used in a wide range of products and services ranging from server virtualization, cloud and security. New applications ranging from networking (NFV), automotive to mobile are in the works.
