The Xen Project™ – hosted by Xen.org – is the home for several virtualization related open source
projects and XEN PROJECT is the new name for the XEN open source community.
The Xen Project™ develops virtualization technologies powering the
world's largest clouds in production and
is the foundation of many commercial
products. Technology developed by the Xen Project™ powers public clouds such as Amazon Web Services,
Rackspace Public Cloud and many others. Examples of Xen based server products include Huawei UVP,
Oracle VM and XenServer. Examples of client products and appliances include QubesOS, XenClient
and Netscaler. The Xen Project™ is 10 years old, and the technology it
has created is mature and its stability and versatility is second to none.
Xen Projects
The Xen Project™ has created a number of open source technologies for specific purposes:
- The Xen® Hypervisor is the open source standard for hardware virtualization and the
foundation for all solutions hosted on Xen.org. — Learn More
- The Xen Cloud Platform is an enterprise-ready virtualization platform based on the
Xen® Hypervisor, adding further functionality and many integrations for cloud, storage
and networking solutions. — Learn More
- Xen ARM is a Xen based Hypervisor that targets embedded and mobile devices on
the ARM architecture. — Learn More
If you are unsure, which Xen project is best for you, you may want to read the
Xen Overview document which introduces Xen's
architecture, components and some of the key choices you will have to make.

to add ARM support for ARM CPUs to the Xen Hypervisor. This port is executed as part of of the Hypervisor
project, with no separate codebase.
Xen engineers describe the key challenges they have overcome, current technical status and discuss
the next steps.
