Platform virtualization software, specifically emulators and hypervisors, are software packages that emulate the whole physical computer machine, often providing multiple virtual machines on one physical platform. The table below compares basic information about platform virtualization hypervisors.
Oracle VM Server for x86 is a server virtualization offering from Oracle Corporation.Oracle VM Server for x86 incorporates the free and open-source Xen hypervisor technology, supports Windows, Linux, and Solaris [3] guests and includes an integrated Web based management console.
SmartOS is a free and open-source SVR4 hypervisor based on the UNIX operating system that combines OpenSolaris technology with bhyve and KVM virtualization. [2] Its core kernel contributes to the illumos project. [3] It features several technologies: Crossbow, DTrace, bhyve, KVM, ZFS, and Zones.
Xen Project runs in a more privileged CPU state than any other software on the machine, except for firmware.. Responsibilities of the hypervisor include memory management and CPU scheduling of all virtual machines ("domains"), and for launching the most privileged domain ("dom0") - the only virtual machine which by default has direct access to hardware.
Hypervisor support. In the hypervisor support mode, QEMU either acts as a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) or as a device emulation back-end for virtual machines running under a hypervisor. The most common is Linux's KVM but the project supports a number of hypervisors including Xen, Apple's HVF, Windows' WHPX, and NetBSD's NVMM. [9]
oVirt is a free, open-source virtualization management platform. It was founded by Red Hat as a community project on which Red Hat Virtualization is based. It allows centralized management of virtual machines, compute, storage and networking resources, from an easy-to-use web-based front-end with platform independent access.
Free and open-source software portal; bhyve (pronounced "bee hive", formerly written as BHyVe for "BSD hypervisor") is a type-2 (hosted) hypervisor initially written for FreeBSD. [1] [2] [3] It can also be used on a number of illumos based distributions including SmartOS, [4] OpenIndiana, and OmniOS. [5] A port of bhyve to macOS called xhyve is ...
The TurnKey Linux Virtual Appliance Library is a free open-source software project which develops a range of Debian-based pre-packaged server software appliances (also called virtual appliances). Turnkey appliances can be deployed as a virtual machine (a range of hypervisors are supported), in cloud computing services such as Amazon Web ...
