RE: [Xen-devel] FW: HXEN on linux

["Deepak Kr. Sharma - ERS, HCL Tech" <deepak.s@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Konrad,

We want to build expertise in virtualization domain and contribute to open 
source community.

We have used Xen as type-1 hypervisor and the performance is unprecedented. We 
see good potential in HXen as a type-2 hypervisor and some good solutions can 
be built around it on linux based platforms.

Regards,
Deepak

Ok, first question - why are you doing it?
