Virtualization
Intel® Virtualization Technology introduced in 2005 offers hardware assists for virtualization, which provides simpler and robust means for virtualization and in many cases reduction in software overheads associated with virtualization. Apart from leading the introduction of these hardware assists to mainstream processing, Intel has also led the enabling of a large ecosystem of virtualization and related software infrastructure vendors.
From a software development perspective, more and more developers are discovering new uses for virtualization, new opportunities for product innovation and new business models. Learn more from our experts, share ideas and connect with fellow developers. Start from an overview or jump straight into detailed technical topics, our community has something for everyone.
Performance Impacts with Optimized Virtual Environments on Intel® Virtualization Technology-based Platforms: We constantly benchmark virtual environment deployment scenarios on platforms with Intel® Virtualization Technology. Our testing helps us develop some valuable techniques for optimizing virtual environments and various types of workloads. These techniques are outlined in the paper “Optimizing Virtual Environments on Intel® Virtualization Technology-enabled Platforms.”
Why Software Vendors Need to Care about Virtualization: Enterprise customers increasingly use applications in virtualized environments, and software vendors must consider the implications of this ascending model. The rise of virtualization provides a competitive advantage for those vendors that give their customers superior support for virtualized deployments.
Virtualization: A developer’s friend: The more developers use virtualization, the more they find new uses for it. Discover what you’re missing and how virtualization can help you get more done.
