n 1996, I found a tiny package floating around the Internet called VMware. I booted up my Linux laptop and proceeded to install this little animal. Within minutes I started the application and booted my first virtual PC. Compelled to investigate further, I decided to load Windows 95, completely convinced that it would fail miserably — Win95 on Linux, are you kidding me? To my surprise, I was br...

Microsoft acquired Connectix Corporation, a provider of virtualization software for Windows and Macintosh based computing, in early 2003. In late 2003, EMC announced its plans to acquire VMware for $635 million. Shortly afterwards, VERITAS announced that it was acquiring an application virtualization company called Ejascent for $59 million. Sun and Hewlett-Packard have been working hard in rece...

Virtualized data center infrastructures demand a solid foundation that delivers scale, resilience, flexibility and efficiency. Hitachi and Cisco, today’s leading advocates of data center infrastructure virtualization, have teamed to develop a blueprint for large-scale data center virtualization that satisfies these demands. Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Select for VMware vSphere with C...

Server Virtualization continues to be one of the hottest topics of 2006. Join our quest for enlightenment as we explore the performance data of a large enterprise environment. We’ll travel through a major consolidation effort, review some of the basic methodology and difficulties of the migration, then look closely at data captured from VMware ESX, its virtual machines and Windows servers seeki...

Virtual Machine Monitors (VMM) have become popular in different application areas. Some applications may require to generate the timer events with high resolution and precision. This however may be challenging due to the complexity of VMMs. In this paper we focus on the timer functionality provided by five different VMMs-Xen, KVM, Qemu, VirtualBox and VMWare. Firstly, we evaluate resolutions an...

Server virtualization is a technology that utilizes several computers into one as server service, so in its use it does not too many physical computers. Because system uses virtual where using computer alone can provide service to at once with the system, research conducted by researchers focused on performance of servers software Proxmox and VMWare ESXi machines access Moodle system. However, ...

We introduce IceFS, a novel file system that separates physical structures of the file system. A new abstraction, the cube, is provided to enable the grouping of files and directories inside a physically isolated container. We show three major benefits of cubes within IceFS: localized reaction to faults, fast recovery, and concurrent filesystem updates. We demonstrate these benefits within a VM...

This work analyses the performance of Hadoop, an implementation of the MapReduce programming model for distributed parallel computing, executing on a virtualisation environment comprised of 1+16 nodes running the VMWare workstation software. A set of experiments using the standard Hadoop benchmarks has been designed in order to determine whether or not significant reductions in the execution ti...

The history of computing is a history of virtualization. Each increase in the number of abstraction layers separating the end user from the hardware makes life easier for the user but harder for the system capacity planner who must understand the relationship between logical and physical configurations to guarantee performance. In this paper we discuss possible architectures for virtual systems...
