Everyone not using KVM is using Xen, for local installs that is. There are other products but none of them are open enough to be considered in those cases.

- stevekemp 8y agoThat's probably broadly true, but on the low-end there are a lot of shared-hosting companies who use nothing, and a bunch of people sharing resources via OpenVZ etc.
- oneplane 8y agoHence the 'for local installs that is' ;-) There are generally two big FOSS hypervisors (Xen, KVM), a bunch of smaller ones (bhyve, vmm, the one in l4) and the somewhat-open ones like VirtualBox-OSS. Then again, the whole local setup scope is a niche in itself.
