Summary In this chapter we introduced the basic concepts behind virtualization as well as the benefits virtualization can provide. Through the presentation of the various types of virtualization in place today, we provided a solid foundation for you to compare virtualization candidates based on the type of virtualization they implement. We looked at the historical precursors to Xen beginning with specialized hardware from the 1960s and provided discussion of the hardware evolution that enables virtualization like Xen to operate on modern commodity hardware. Your understanding of this material provides the requisite information for you to make informed comparisons between Xen and other virtualization technologies. Because the discussion here has made the case for selecting Xen as a virtualization platform, because the discussion here has made the case for selecting Xen as a virtualization platform.
