Few build Hypervisors. We're one of them
Everyone uses virtualization. Few truly understand what they’re building on. That’s why calling hypervisors a commodity is a dangerous illusion.
By comparison, we noticed a lot of shortcuts: tradeoffs made for performance at the cost of security, designs constrained by legacy architecture, or decisions shaped more by vendor convenience than user resilience. It takes more than XCP-ng/Xen engineers to build a lasting platform: Xen Orchestra team obviously, but also services like TAMs and consultants, tech support, DevOps, QA, documentation, and everything else that makes a real company — not just a product. Whether it's memory encryption (like SEV on AMD), confidential computing, nested virtualization, IOMMU changes, or exotic scheduling features — the hypervisor has to evolve constantly to support modern workloads.
