    SubjectRE: [PATCH] xen: core dom0 support
    Date
    From
    Hi,

    i think xen is a great virtualization technology.

    Many company´s work with xen and the performance is better than KVM.

    Here some benchmarks with Citrix XenServer 5.0 vs KVM with linux and windows guests on an IBM x3400 server:

    HDD: XEN | KVM

    Write: 110 MB/s | 60 MB/s
    Read: 130 MB/s | 80 MB/s

    Network Performance: (download an 4 GB iso image from apache webserver)

    XEN | KVM

    download Speed: 105 MB/s | 50 MB/s

    xen is using the full 1000 mbit network.. great performance!

    On our IBM servers Xen is still faster than KVM.

    And what other patches can we expect to see to complete the xen dom0
    support?


    and..

    I hate to be the one to say it, but we should sit down and work out
    whether it is justifiable to merge any of this into Linux. I think
    it's still the case that the Xen technology is the "old" way and that
    the world is moving off in the "new" direction, KVM?

    In three years time, will we regret having merged this?
