XenApp: Aggregate Profiles • Applications packaged separately & isolated Aggregate • Aggregation allows isolated apps to communicate • Individual updates automatically propagate to aggregates
User-Application Preferential Load BalancingXenApp for Windows Server 2008 Load Balancing Algorithm Without PLB (eg: CPS 4.5). Now there is resource contention between two important sessions Where would this session go? With PLB. Important sessions get more “room” on a server, there is less contention. 2 2 6 6 21 Citrix Company Confidential

Two Steps to a Dynamic Datacenter • High performance hypervisor • Effective provisioning
Emulation Virtualization Legacy Hypervisor UserApps UserApps Slow, expensive software emulation layer HALT SAFE HALT Hardware
Next-Generation Virtualization Paravirtualization • Kernel and I/O paths know they are being virtualized • Cooperation provides best performance Xen • Hardware assisted • Hardware-assist allows high performance without emulation UserApps UserApps HALT Paravirtualized guests makes high-speed calls directly to the hypervisor Other guests benefit from hardware-accelerated call translation HALT HYPERCALL VT/AMD-V Hardware
Xen runs on bare metal Extremely thin; only 50K lines of code Processor and memory access through hypervisor Network and storage Accessed through management domain Uses standard Linux device drivers OpenSource ControlInterface Storage Drivers Xen ControlInterface Virtualized Hardware VT/AMD-V Hardware XenServer Platform Architecture
XenServer Architecture Benefits • Next Generation Hypervisor • Native 64-bit hypervisor with full support for 64-bit guests • Uses paravirtualization and hardware virtualization • Superb Performance • Linux ~ 0.5% to 3% overhead • Windows ~ 2 to 5% overhead • Leverage open source device drivers
