A new VM storage scheme where all VM data is stored in one single folder to improve VM portability Several UI enhancements including a new look with VM preview and scale mode On 32-bit hosts, VMs can each use more than 1.5 GB of RAM
VMDK (short for Virtual Machine Disk) is a file format that describes containers for virtual hard disk drives to be used in virtual machines like VMware Workstation or VirtualBox.
OpenVMS, often referred to as just VMS, [8] is a multi-user, multiprocessing and virtual memory-based operating system.It is designed to support time-sharing, batch processing, transaction processing and workstation applications. [9]
With the VM suspended, a minimal subset of the execution state of the VM (CPU state, registers and, optionally, non-pageable memory) is transferred to the target. The VM is then resumed at the target. Concurrently, the source actively pushes the remaining memory pages of the VM to the target - an activity known as pre-paging.
System virtual machines (also called full virtualization VMs, SysVM, [citation needed] or SYS-VM [citation needed]) provide a substitute for a real machine. They provide the functionality needed to execute entire operating systems .
Application virtualization is a software technology that encapsulates computer programs from the underlying operating system on which they are executed. A fully virtualized application is not installed in the traditional sense, [1] although it is still executed as if it were.
It is a way to abstract away the physical details of storage and allow files to be stored on any type of storage device, without the need for specific drivers or other low-level configuration. File-based virtualization can be used for storage consolidation, improved storage utilization, virtualization and disaster recovery.
The host operating system then unmaps physical memory from those memory pages (with no need to copy them to secondary storage). The released pages of physical memory return to the host machine's pool of available RAM, and the host machine can use them to keep other virtual machines in physical memory and/or to cache secondary storage.
