F5 and the 8 ways to Virtualization
Short Description
F5 pioneered the concept of breaking up data center virtualization technologies into eight unique categories within the data center. Any virtualization products or technologies implemented in the data center will fall into one of these eight categories. With this paper, F5 discusses how it has implemented these same technologies within its own product line, helping enterprises get closer to achieving their goal of a implementing a complete Virtual Data Center with F5’s Application Delivery Networking products.

Harness the Power of Virtualization for Server Consolidation
Short Description
The average server workload in an enterprise environment ranges from five to 40 percent, leaving at least 60 percent of the available capacity unused (based on October 2005 Novell? customer interviews). Still, the majority of today’s data centers run a single application on a single server, creating server sprawl and resulting in more money spent on hardware and the resources required to manage it. To significantly reduce these costs, data centers need to take better advantage of the high processing power of today’s server CPUs by employing server virtualization solutions that reduce sprawl and maximize workloads.

Virtualization Defined - Eight Different Ways - White Paper
Short Description
Alice has asked the million-dollar question: What does “going virtual” really mean in today’s IT world? Virtualization as a concept is not new; computational environment virtualization has been around since the fi rst mainframe systems. But recently, the term “virtualization” has become ubiquitous, representing any type of process obfuscation where a process is somehow removed from its physical operating environment. Because of this ambiguity, virtualization can almost be applied to any and all parts of an IT infrastructure. For example, mobile device emulators are a form of virtualization because the hardware platform normally required to run the mobile operating system has been emulated, removing the OS binding from the hardware it was written for. But this is just one example of one type of virtualization; there are many definitions of the term “virtualization” fl oating around in the current lexicon, and all (or at least most) of them are correct, which can be quite confusing.

PC Evolution How Software Virtualization Pushes Hardware to the Back Seat
Short Description
Celebrating five generations since the birth of the computer circa 1937, our beloved computing machines have dramatically morphed shapes, sizes, and capabilities throughout the past 70 years to become what we now know as the PC. Quickly adapting to the technological advancements that have turned the original computer from a research project to man’s inseparable new best friend, the consumer’s expectations of a PC have skyrocketed. And rightfully so- as technology becomes key to our future, we naturally should be forward thinkers.

A Comparison of Software and Hardware Techniques for x86 Virtualization
Short Description
Until recently, the x86 architecture has not permitted classical trap-and-emulate virtualization. Virtual Machine Monitors for x86, such as VMware R Workstation and Virtual PC, have instead used binary translation of the guest kernel code. However, both Intel and AMD have now introduced architectural extensions to support classical virtualization. We compare an existing software VMM with a new VMM designed for the emerging hardware support. Surprisingly, the hardware VMM often suffers lower performance than the pure software VMM. To determine why, we study architecture-level events such as page table updates, context switches and I/O, and find their costs vastly different among native, software VMM and hardware VMM execution.
