Harmonizing the Twin Trends of Open Source and Virtualization: How Kernel Based Virtual Machine (KVM) Drives Enterprise Business Value

More recently, some of these capabilities were extended to IBM’s UNIX Systems (Power Systems) using PowerVM for virtualization of an entire system or within Logical Partitions (LPARs).
