Abstract

Virtualization is moving out of the data center and making inroads with mobile computing, security, and software delivery.

Supplementary Material

Supplementary Figure 1 (fig1supp_vmotion.jpg)

VMware's VMotion technology is designed to move a running virtual machine instantaneously from server to server. The machine's state is encapsulated by a set of stored files, with VMware's cluster file system allowing both the source and the target ESX server to access these virtual machine files concurrently.

Supplementary Figure 2 (fig2supp_opteron.jpg)

AMD's quad-core Opteron processor with the company's latest generation of virtualization support, called AMD-V, is designed to reduce the performance overhead of software-based virtualization. AMD-V's Rapid Virtualization Indexing technology allows virtual machines to directly manage memory using hardware rather than software resources.

Fifty years of evolution in virtualization technologies: from the first IBM machines to modern hyperconverged infrastructures
PCI '15: Proceedings of the 19th Panhellenic Conference on Informatics

The evolution of virtualization is an exciting history of enabling technologies that have offered the ability to organize and utilize the hardware resources more efficiently. We will start from the origins of the first IBM machines back in 1960's, where ...
Improving machine virtualisation with 'hotplug memory'

Machine virtualisation is a key technology for server consolidation and on-demand server provisioning. To support this trend, it is essential to improve the performance of virtualisation software and enable the efficient running of many virtual ...
Reviewing the World of Virtualization
ISMS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 Third International Conference on Intelligent Systems Modelling and Simulation

The latest talk in IT industry is about server virtualization. Virtualization increase server utilization rates. Along with this, it lets you consolidate multiple operating systems and applications as per physical server and deploy new applications in ...
