1.0 Introduction and Technology Overview

Novell® SUSE Linux Enterprise Server® and Xen* hypervisor software combine to deliver Xen VM Server, a server platform that can host virtual machines. A virtual machine (VM) is an environment which appears to its “guest” operating system as actual computer hardware but is actually simulated by a “host” computer running Xen VM Server. Xen VM Server can host one or more VMs.
