operating systems and sophisticated enterprise security.

This year's summit will present the most relevant topics to Xen Project 
developers and users who are pushing the limits on virtualization, 
ranging from typical server virtualization and cloud computing on x86 
servers to new developments with ARM servers, networking, automotive, 
cloud operating systems, enterprise security and mobility.
