Sources for Xen Binaries

You can get recent Xen binaries as packages from most Linux and Unix distributions, both open source and commercial. Some Linux distributions deliver Xen as a LiveCD, that you can use to easily test Xen.

XCP

The Xen Hypervisor is also the foundation of the Xen Cloud Platform, which adds further functionality to the hypervisor and many integrations for third party cloud, storage and networking solutions and comes in an installable image.

The XCP ISO as available for download here. This version of XCP installs onto your host from an ISO, providing a complete enterprise-ready out-of-the-box server virtualization and cloud computing platform after install.

XCP XCP-XAPI packages in Linux distros

XCP toolstack packages (or XCP-XAPI packages) enable you to build an XCP-like environment from packages that are distributed via your host operating system's package manager. XCP-XAPI packages are only available from supported Linux distributions (currently Debian and Ubuntu). Using XCP-XAPI packages provides more flexibility in tailoring your environment to your needs, but comes at the cost of less functionality and a more complex set-up.
