Inspired by a recent discussion on Xen Discuss<\/a> about what different virtualization solutions were available from Sun I thought I’d take the information provided by Volker A. Brandt and Bernd Schemmer and put it into a convenient table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Actually, Sun have a pretty good summary<\/a>, but some of the technologies are hidden behind the hardware on which they run, for example LDOM is a firmware-level solution built into many of the SPARC hardware solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
