Description

IBM z/VM is a sophisticated operating system that features a hypervisor and virtualization technology, designed to effectively manage guest servers like Linux, z/OS, and z/TPF virtual machines, as well as Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Z and LinuxONE systems. This platform is capable of operating hundreds or even thousands of guest servers on a single IBM Z or LinuxONE server with remarkable efficiency and adaptability. It accommodates various machine images and architectures, which streamlines the migration process, eases application transitions, and enables the consolidation of multiple systems onto one server. By excelling in resource sharing among virtual machines, IBM z/VM provides outstanding scalability, security, and efficiency, resulting in significant cost reductions and creating a solid foundation for cognitive computing. Its implementation supports on-premises cloud computing within a hybrid cloud framework, allowing organizations to efficiently scale and manage thousands of Linux and container workloads. Moreover, it aids in maintaining continuous availability through IBM's robust resiliency offerings, ensuring that businesses can rely on their infrastructure without interruption. This versatility makes IBM z/VM a critical asset for modern enterprises looking to optimize their IT environments.

Description

Xvisor® is a type-1 hypervisor that is open-source, designed to deliver a monolithic, lightweight, and adaptable virtualization solution. It boasts a high-performance capability while maintaining a low memory footprint for various CPU architectures, including ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7a, ARMv7a-ve, ARMv8a, x86_64, RISC-V, and more. Unlike many other ARM hypervisors, it uniquely supports ARM CPUs lacking virtualization extensions. Furthermore, it stands out as the first Type-1 hypervisor for RISC-V, showcasing its innovative approach. The source code of Xvisor is crafted for portability and can be readily adapted to most 32-bit or 64-bit architectures, provided they are equipped with a paged memory management unit (PMMU) and a compatible GNU C compiler (GCC). Xvisor primarily focuses on full virtualization, allowing it to support a diverse array of unmodified guest operating systems, while paravirtualization is an optional feature that can be implemented in an architecture-independent manner, such as through VirtIO PCI/MMIO devices. This flexibility makes Xvisor a compelling choice for developers looking to implement virtualization across different platforms.
