| Novell and Intel speed up virtualised Windows |
|---|
Novell and Intel plan to announce on Monday software that improves the performance of Windows running on the Xen virtualisation software.
Xen is an open-source "hypervisor" that lets a single machine run multiple operating systems, a feature that's handy for consolidating work onto a smaller number of more efficiently used servers. However, while Linux runs relatively well on Xen, Windows' networking performance on Xen today is slow.
