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

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.
