Virtual Windows to run unmodified on Linux
Combined with the existing ability to host unmodified Linux on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, these new drivers are designed to let customers confidently migrate to newer and fewer energy-efficient servers, consolidating legacy Windows or Linux solutions onto virtual servers.
“Intel has been working with the open source community to enable Linux virtualisation solutions to take advantage of Intel Virtualisation Technology, so that guest OS and applications can run unmodified,” says Doug Fisher, Intel vice-president of software and solutions group.
In addition to providing cost savings when virtualising Windows on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, these drivers can improve the availability of Windows- and Linux-based workloads via clustered virtual systems and help IT staff respond faster to business needs by easily creating and provisioning services on virtual systems, Fisher adds.
