Technically, the virtualization product consists of two interdependent components: the hypervisor in the SPARC server firmware and the Logical Domains Manager software installed on the Solaris operating system running within the control domain (see Logical Domain roles, below). Because of this, each particular version of Logical Domains (Oracle ...
They are also called [2] API mocking tools, service virtualization tools, over the wire test doubles and tools for stubbing and mocking HTTP(S) and other protocols. [1] They enable component testing in isolation. [3] In alphabetical order by name (click on a column heading to sort by that column):
Instruction set extensions that have been added to the x86 instruction set in order to support hardware virtualization.These extensions provide instructions for entering and leaving a virtualized execution context and for loading virtual-machine control structures (VMCSs), which hold the state of the guest and host, along with fields which control processor behavior within the virtual machine.
In October 2012, a group of telecom operators published a white paper [4] at a conference in Darmstadt, Germany, on software-defined networking (SDN) and OpenFlow.The Call for Action concluding the White Paper led to the creation of the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Industry Specification Group (ISG) [5] within the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
Hardware virtualization is the virtualization of computers as complete hardware platforms, certain logical abstractions of their componentry, or only the functionality required to run various operating systems. Virtualization emulates the hardware environment of its host architecture, allowing multiple OSes to run unmodified and in isolation.
IBM developed the concept of hypervisors (virtual machines in CP-40 and CP-67) and in 1972 provided it for the S/370 as Virtual Machine Facility/370. [2] IBM introduced the Start Interpretive Execution (SIE) instruction (designed specifically for the execution of virtual machines) in 1983 as part of 370-XA architecture on the IBM 3081, as well as VM/XA versions of VM to exploit it.
DXVA (hardware accelerated video decoding) support for Windows guests; NVRAM support for EFI which improves compatibility with many guest OSes; Software keyboard (virtual) for entering any keys to a guest; Guest CPU use monitoring; Dropped support for software CPU virtualization: a CPU with hardware virtualization support is now required
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]
