Virtualization, in computing, 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. 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 right away, covering: Virtualization, Hardware virtualization, Comparison of application virtual machines, Comparison of platform virtual machines, Abstract Rewriting Machine, Alice (programming language), BD+, CHIP-8, Coware, Cross-platform virtualization, Dynamic recompilation, Extensible Embeddable Language, Adobe Flash Player, Full virtualization, Genetix, Glulx, Hardware-assisted virtualization, Host machine, HotSpot, Inferno (operating system), Just-in-time compilation, Libguestfs, Libvirt, Maxine Virtual Machine, Memory virtualization, Mono (software), Neko (programming language), O-code, O-code machine, Open Cobalt, Open Kernel Labs, Parallel Virtual Machine, Parser Grammar Engine, Partial virtualization, Pep/7, Perl virtual machine, Process virtual machine, Sankhya Technologies, SECD machine, Simics, System virtual machine, Tamarin (JavaScript engine), Transterpreter, UCSD Pascal, UVC-based preservation, Hypervisor, Paravirtualization, Hardware emulation, Mobile Virtualization, Operating system-level virtualization, 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, 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, EasyVZ, Egenera, Embedded hypervisor, Ericom Software, Full system simulator, HiperSocket, History of CP/CMS, HP Integrity Virtual Machines, Hyper-V, 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, Merge (software), Microsoft App-V, Windows Virtual PC, Microsoft Virtual Server, MojoPac, MokaFive, Network virtualization, Novell ZENworks Application VIrtualization, Open Virtualization Format, 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., PearPC, Physical-to-Virtual, PikeOS, PlateSpin, Popek and Goldberg virtualization requirements, PowerVM...and much more. This book explains in-depth the real drivers and workings of Virtualization. It reduces the risk of your technology, time and resources investment decisions by enabling you to compare your understanding of Virtualization with the objectivity of experienced professionals.
