Sun xVM Server comming this summer! 0

So you think xVM VirtualBox rocks? Just wait till you see xVM Server in action!

The xVM Server Project is a data-center grade, bare-metal
virtualization engine that provides hypervisor lifecycle management for
servers. It is designed to be a cross-platform, high efficiency, open
source hypervisor capable of hosting multiple guest operating systems
(including Solaris, Windows, and Linux), with advanced CPU and memory
handling capabilities. The server is being built using technology from
the Xen open source project as well as Sun™ Logical Domains (LDOMS).

Keep your browsers tuned to xvmserver.org, the site is set to launch this summer. For now you can check out a UI sneak peak and a short overview of xVM Server over at the OpenxVM.org’s OpenxVM at a Glance page.
