Virtual private servers powered by XEN. Xen VPS hosting (xensource). Virtual private server (VPS), a new type of web hosting based on the concept of partitions on mainframes and advanced resource scheduling to divide a computer into many virtually isolated servers. It is a server that runs inside another server. Each VPS acts like a dedicated server but shares the same hardware.
Virtual private servers or Virtual dedicated servers are a form of virtualization that splits a single physical server into multiple virtual servers. The practice of partitioning a single server so that it appeared as multiple servers has long been common practice in mainframe computers, but has seen a resurgence lately with the development of software and technologies such as XEN. Virtual private servers have also become popular for their ability to establish sandboxes. For example, a single physical server might have two virtual private servers running: one hosting the production-level (live) website, and a second which houses a copy of it. When updates to crucial parts of software need to be made, they can be tested in the second VPS, allowing for detailed testing to be conducted without requiring several physical servers.
Powered by XEN!! Xen is an open-source virtual machine monitor, or hypervisor, developed by the University of Cambridge. It has a design goal of being able to run 100 full-featured operating system (OS) instances on a single typical computer. Xen provides secure isolation, resource control, quality-of-service guarantees, and live migration of virtual machines. Operating systems must be explicitly modified (“ported”) to run on Xen (although compatibility is maintained for user applications). This enables Xen to achieve high-performance virtualization without special hardware support. All of our virtual pivate servers run using XEN.
Paravirtualization with Xen.Virtual private servers powered by XEN! Xen uses a technique called paravirtualization to achieve high performance (i.e., low performance penalties, typically around 2%, with worst-case scenarios at 8% performance penalty. Through paravirtualization, it can achieve high performance.
