Comparing Hypervisor Virtualization Performance with the Example of Citrix Hypervisor (XenServer) and Microsoft Hyper-V

This paper presents the comparison of two representatives of type 1 hypervisors: XenServer and Microsoft Hyper-V. With the help of HD Tune Pro, we compare the performance of a hypervisor. Both hypervisors were tested in the same conditions with the MS Windows Server as the guest operating system. The obtained results are in accordance with the defined hypotheses for the expected behavior of the hypervisors.
