Re: [Xen-users] Xen on production enviroment

[tim Doyle <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Weve been running Xen for a bit now, and it has been very stable.
The servers are running cooler, and with a lower load average, as 
compared to other
virtualization setups.
Were running mulitple linux domU's per server, under a variety of loads,
and the vps's are very responsive.  Xen is quite ready for production.
