While it is generally recognised that virtualisation is an important step in the move to cloud computing, as it enables efficient use of the underlying hardware and allows for true scalability, for ...

Real-time hypervisors — the central technology for workload consolidation — enable the safe execution of multiple workloads ...

When it comes to software-defined networking, many people are guilty of missing the forest for the trees. Software-defined networking (SDN) is a buzz-term these days. Indeed, IDC predicts the ...

Virtualization companies, unwilling to see core products become a mere operating system feature, are signing deals to build them into hardware. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and ...

Specifying and validating embedded systems and chips becomes increasingly challenging as feature sets and non-functional constraints grow. It's especially difficult when the system involves a ...

Technology innovations are continuously impact the Internet, applications, and services. Internet traffic is rapidly expanding and becoming more varied and complex, with an explosion in voice and ...

The magic word for today is virtualisation. IBM has launched its Virtualization Engine, and you can't find a tech company on the planet that doesn't pay at least lip service to the idea. Briefly put, ...

With all the hype about cloud, containers and Kubernetes, you might be fooled into thinking that server virtualisation is dead. Although it might be a mature market, server virtualisation is evolving.

Virtualisation has been around for a long time, but it has only recently become an essential part of enterprise IT. With the addition of explicit virtualisation support in most recent processors, it ...

Virtual PCs have important uses, such as providing a dedicated environment for testing new applications or enabling the parallel operation of multiple operating systems. But the virtualization ...

Using virtualization we remove the ties that bind us (to specific hardware). Imagine if you can, that the operating system and its applications are not bound to the hardware. Instead there is a basic ...

Emulation is what we do when we try to make one system behave like or imitate a different system. We want to take System A (something we already have) and give it the inputs we would normally use for ...
