Virtualization Software: High-impact Strategies - What You Need to Know: Definitions, Adoptions, Impact, Benefits, Maturity, Vendors

Kevin Roebuck

Description

Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a hardware platform, operating system, a storage device or network resources.

Virtualization can be viewed as part of an overall trend in enterprise IT that includes autonomic computing, a scenario in which the IT environment will be able to manage itself based on perceived activity, and utility computing, in which computer processing power is seen as a utility that clients can pay for only as needed. The usual goal of virtualization is to centralize administrative tasks while improving scalability and work loads.

This book is your ultimate resource for Virtualization Software. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know.

In easy to read chapters, with extensive references and links to get you to know all there is to know about Virtualization Software right away, covering: Comparison of application virtual machines, Comparison of platform virtual machines, Comparison of VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop, Adaptive Domain Environment for Operating Systems, ALGOL 68C, Amazon Machine Image, Application virtualization, ARMware, Byte Code Engineering Library, Bytecode, CherryOS, CHIP-8, Chroot, Computer cluster in virtual machines, Cooperative Linux, Copy-on-write, CP-370, CP-67, CP/CMS, Denali (operating system), Dynamic Logical Partitioning, Workload Partitions, Dynamic recompilation, EasyVZ, Egenera, Embedded hypervisor, Ericom Software, Full system simulator, Full virtualization, HiperSocket, History of CP/CMS, HP Integrity Virtual Machines, Hyper-V, Hypervisor, HyperVM, I/O virtualization, IBM CP-40, IBM M44/44X, IBM OLIVER (CICS interactive test/debug), IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale, ICore Virtual Accounts, IEmulator, InstallFree, Kernel-based Virtual Machine, Lanamark, Libquantum, Live migration, LivePC, Logical Domains, Logical partition (virtual computing platform), Mac-on-Linux, Mac-on-Mac, Marionnet, Memory virtualization, Merge (software), Microsoft App-V, Windows Virtual PC, Microsoft Virtual Server, MojoPac, MokaFive, Network virtualization, Novell ZENworks Application VIrtualization, Open Kernel Labs, Open Virtualization Alliance, Open Virtualization Format, Operating system-level virtualization, Optimal IdM, Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center, Oracle VM, OVPsim, Pano Logic, Parallels Desktop for Mac, Parallels Server for Mac, Parallels Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, Parallels Workstation, Parallels Workstation Extreme, Parallels, Inc., Paravirtualization, Partial virtualization, PearPC, Physical-to-Virtual, PikeOS, PlateSpin, Popek and Goldberg virtualization requirements, PowerVM, PowerVM Lx86, PR/SM, Q (emulator), Quantum virtual machine, QuickTransit, Qumranet, R1soft Hyper-V VHD Explorer, Rawdisk, RingCube vDesk, Sandbox (computer security), Sandbox (software development), Simics, SIMNET, SIMON (Batch Interactive test/debug), Software Virtualization Solution, SoftXpand, Solaris Containers, SPECvirt, Storage virtualization, Sun xVM, SVISTA, SWsoft, Sysjail, Systancia, Timeline of virtualization development, Tvpc, TwoOStwo, UC4, Virtual 8086 mode, Virtual appliance, Virtual Application, Virtual backup appliance, Virtual disk image, Virtual DOS machine, Virtual file system, Virtual Iron, Virtual lab automation, Virtual Machine lifecycle management, Virtual Machine Manager, Virtual Processor, Virtual resource partitioning, Virtual security appliance, Virtual security switch, VirtualBox, Virtualization engine, VM (operating system), VM-CP, VM/XA, VM2000, VMmark, VMQ, VMware Fusion, VMware Infrastructure, VMware Player, VMware ThinApp...and much more
