Xen.org Project Mission

Like any organization the Xen.org project has a mission statement. For those of you who have never seen it, I thought I would share it today. I am planning to add it to the Xen.org website and thought a little extra promotion via the blog would be useful.

• Build the industry standard open source hypervisor
  • Core “engine” that is incorporated into multiple vendors’ products
• Maintain Xen’s industry-leading performance
  • Be first to exploit new hardware acceleration features
  • Help OS vendors paravirtualize their OSes
• Maintain Xen’s reputation for stability and quality
  • Security must now be paramount
• Support multiple CPU types; big and small systems
  • From server to client to mobile phone
• Foster innovation
• Drive interoperability
