Hi,
<div>I am trying to do benchmarking of performance in Xen VM and
OpenVZ VM.</div>
<div>I went over the paper - <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2007/HPL-2007-59R1.pdf">http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2007/HPL-2007-59R1.pdf</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What we are looking for from the "virtualization" solution is
server consolidation and we do not intend to run multiple kernels - so
OpenVZ seems like a good choice.</div>
<div>Are there more recent papers on such as the paper from HP?</div>
<br>

I don't know, but I would consider the real competition to be between
OpenVZ and libvirt/KVM - I don't think Xen is going anywhere in the
long term.<br>
<br>
KVM supports the use of kernel-same-page-merging (KSM), which OpenVZ
doesn't (yet?). For some applications KSM can be a big win...<br>
<br>
We currently use/support both OpenVZ and kvm.<br>
