PowerVM is the family of technologies, capabilities and offerings that deliver industry-leading virtualization on IBM POWER6 processor-based systems. For users ready to get the full value out of their server, IBM offers PowerVM Editions providing the most complete virtualization functionality for UNIX®, IBM i and Linux operating systems in the industry. PowerVM Standard Edition includes Micro-Partitioning™, and Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) capabilities are designed to help increase system utilization while ensuring that applications get required resources in a non-disruptive fashion. Multiple independent AIX, i and Linux operating systems may be run simultaneously on the same system. Consolidating applications can help reduce complexity and lower operational costs. Micro-Partitioning technology allows the system to be fine tuned with logical partitions (virtual servers) as small as 1/10th of a processor, helping improve system resource utilization.
