| Hypervisors, virtualization, and the cloud: Dive into the Xen hypervisor
This article describes the features, deployment processes, and VM management issues for the Xen hypervisor. Xen started as a virtual-machine monitor for IA-32, x86-64, Itanium, and ARM architectures. It allows several guest operating systems to execute on the same computer hardware concurrently. Xen systems have a structure with the Xen hypervisor as the lowest and most privileged layer.

| Hypervisors, virtualization, and the cloud: Dive into the KVM hypervisor
This article describes the features, deployment processes, and VM management issues for
the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) hypervisor. KVM is a virtualization
infrastructure for the Linux kernel that supports native virtualization on processors with hardware virtualization extensions. Originally, it supported x86 processors, but it now supports a wide variety of processors and guest operating systems including many variations of Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows, Haiku, ReactOS, and the AROS Research Operating System (there's even a modified version of Qemu that can use KVM to run Mac OS X).
