Xen Open Source Project Readies Version 3.0
First Major Release in More than a Year

The Xen project has released version 3.0 of its virtualization software, its first major release in over a year, and XenSource, the folks that are commercializing the open source VMware competitor, claim that it is now really enterprise-ready - but not without its new XenOptimizer.

Xen 3.0 is a so-called community release that signals that the code base is functionally complete and ready for further testing and validation by the Xen community and qualification by vendors. It's expected to be distributed by Novell and by Red Hat.

Red Hat, which is helping XenSource upstream Xen's paravirtualization patches into kernel.org, says it'll take until the end of next year to get it into Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Sun also has plans to offer paravirtualized Solaris on x64 virtual servers running on Xen.

Intel has contributed code for 64-bit addressing, an important requirement for enterprise data centers, and is working with XenSource on the development of security features.

Xen 3.0 supports two new addressing modes for servers with large memories. Physical Address Extension (PAE) allows 32-bit servers to address more than 4GB memory and 64-bit addressing for up to 1TB of memory. Trusted Platform Modules provide hardware-based security. A port of Xen to Itanium contributed by HP and Intel is included.

A port of Xen to IBM's Power PC architecture by IBM is also reportedly close to completion.

Virtualization efforts on Linux got a major boost today. The open source release of Xen 3.0 was good enough, but
Xen's commercial sponsor XenSource is also rolling out an app to help manage virtualization in enterprise data centers...so really it gets better and better.
