    I know several large companies looking to Microsoft, Xen, and Proxmox. Though the smart ones are more interested in the open source solutions to avoid future rug-pulls.

          I thought Xen and OpenVZ etc. became obsolete with KVM? But it’s probably for the best that Xen is still used.

            Xen is a type 1 hypervisor, KVM is a type 2 hypervisor

            It runs on the bare metal itself as dom0

        Yes…? All are except Microsoft, which is why most companies I work with aren’t looking that way.

      Xen looks great for VPS stuff, and seemed to have good support for vGPUs. That’s what I’d choose as a provider. I wish I used it at home but I ended up going with good ol’ Linux KVM for USB and PCI support.
