SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1: Virtualization Technology Support

Overview

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 provides integrated Xen-based virtualization, which can be used to provision, de-provision, install, monitor and manage multiple Virtual Machines (VMs) on a single physical system. Out of the box, it can create VMs running both modified, highly tuned, paravirtualized operating systems and unmodified operating systems. Xen serves as the hypervisor, or VM monitor. It is a layer of software that runs directly on the server hardware and controls platform resources, sharing them among multiple VMs and their operating systems by presenting virtualized hardware interfaces to each VM.
