|
Saturday, 06 November 2004 |
|
Modern computers are sufficiently powerful to use virtualization to present the illusion of many smaller virtual machines (VMs), each running a separate operating system instance. Successful partitioning of a machine to support the concurrent execution of multiple operating systems poses several challenges. Firstly, virtual machines must be isolated from one another: it is not acceptable for the execution of one to adversely affect the performance of another. This is particularly true when virtual machines are owned by mutually untrusting users. Secondly, it is necessary to support a variety of different operating systems to accommodate the heterogeneity of popular applications. Thirdly, the performance overhead introduced by virtualization should be small. |

|
Sunday, 31 October 2004 |

Using any software product in a business-critical or mission-critical environment requires that you consider availability, a measure of the ability of a system to do what it is supposed to do, even in the presence of crashes, equipment failures, and environmental mishaps. As more and more critical commercial applications move onto the Internet, providing highly available services becomes increasingly important. |
