RE: [Xen-users] windows server on xen in production?

["Nick Couchman" <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use GPLPV drivers on one of my production-level Server 2003 HVM DomUs.  The domU is solid and performs very well.  Running on SLES10 SP2 with Xen 3.2.0 and the GPLPV drivers.

We use the Citrix drivers on XenServer in production and the performance is
very, very good.  Equal CPU performance for single CPU, but much better than
GPLPV for multi CPU.  Network and disk performance is better than GPLPV in
all cases.  And most importantly, they never, ever crash.
