Description
IBM PowerVC is a virtualization management solution based on OpenStack, created to streamline the deployment and oversight of virtual machines across IBM Power Systems that operate AIX, IBM i, and Linux. It allows for quick deployment, significantly shortening the time required to realize value through easy installation and configuration. With a user-friendly interface, it reduces the necessity for specialized training, ultimately boosting administrator efficiency. PowerVC enhances resource utilization by promoting resource pooling and establishing placement policies, which helps in optimizing IT expenses. The Dynamic Resource Optimizer (DRO) automates workload balancing within host groups based on set policies, ensuring that performance remains at its peak. Furthermore, VM templates foster consistency and standardization, making deployments smoother and less labor-intensive. Additional key features include automated I/O configuration that supports both mobility and high availability, along with the effortless import and deployment of workload images, making it an invaluable tool for IT management. Overall, PowerVC not only simplifies operational tasks but also contributes to improved resource management and cost efficiency.
Description
KVM, which stands for Kernel-based Virtual Machine, serves as a comprehensive virtualization solution for Linux systems operating on x86 hardware equipped with virtualization capabilities (such as Intel VT or AMD-V). It comprises a loadable kernel module, known as kvm.ko, that underpins the essential virtualization framework, along with a processor-specific module, either kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. By utilizing KVM, users can operate several virtual machines that run unaltered Linux or Windows operating systems. Each virtual machine is allocated its own set of virtualized hardware components, including a network interface card, storage, graphics adapter, and more. KVM is an open-source project, with its kernel component integrated into the mainline Linux kernel since version 2.6.20, while the userspace aspect has been incorporated into the mainline QEMU project starting from version 1.3. This integration enables widespread deployment and support for various virtualization applications and services.
