Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), is a hypervisor built into the Linux kernel. KVM can run a wide range of GNU/Linux, Windows and 
other operating systems. For more information check out [http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status Guest Support Status]. KVM is 
similar to Xen with couple of important differences. First, since KVM is part of the Linux kernel it uses the regular Linux scheduler and memory 
management, resulting in it being smaller and more featureful. On the other hand, KVM relies on a processor that supports x86 hardware virtual 
machine (HVM) CPU extensions, whereas Xen allows running modified operating systems on non-HVM x86 processors using paravirtualization. HVM is 
also referred to as hardware-assisted virtualization or native virtualization.
