The xen.org organisation supports the development of many open-source projects including: the xen hypervisor (awarded the best open-solution for cloud comuting at CeBIT); the xen client initiative (developing a platform for client virtualisation); and the xen cloud platform (aiming to be a complete, open-source, cloud-infrastructure platform)
