Per-CPU vector is supported in Xen4.0 and it can support many interrupt sources, so should benefit the systems which are installed some SR-IOV devices or large systems which has lots of interrupt sources.

o   Snapshot virtual disks

o   Command-line invocation method

·         High Availability (Project Remus & Kemari)

o   Up to date replica of a VM on backup server

·         Netchannel2

o   Lazy copy in guest

o   Support multi-queue NIC, Smart NIC, SR-IOV

·         Page Sharing

o   VMs share identical pages in memory

·         Libxenlight

o   High level operations shared across all Xen toolstacks

·         Support for Virtualization-aware Applications
