Xen Enterprise 4.1 versus ESX 3.5
During this year’s BriForum, Ron Oglesby did an independent performance comparison between the Xen hypervisor and VMWare ESX 3.5. Keep in mind that Ron does not work for either VMWare or Citrix (and, oh yeah, Ron wrote the book on virtualization). I must admit that the results were somewhat surprising. In almost every performance test Xen was comparable and even faster than ESX. But, you don’t have to take my work for it. Just check out the PowerPoint and video of Ron explaining the tests and results.
