Xen
From ReactOS
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 instances on a single typical computer. Xen provides secure isolation, resource control, quality-of-service guarantees, and live migration of virtual machines. Xen can run operating systems in two modes:
- Para-Virtualized mode needs modified ("ported") guest operating systems but works on any x86 hardware.
Compatibility is maintained for user applications. This enables Xen to achieve high-performance virtualization without special hardware support.
- Fully virtualized mode or HVM mode needs AMD Pacifica or Intel Vanderpool compatible hardware. It is not as fast as para-virtualized mode but it can run unmodified guest operating systems like Windows XP.
Xen Image
There is no ISO image to test ReactOS in Xen. However, you may use regular release ISOs on your own risk.
