Whitepaper: Understanding Full Virtualization, Paravirtualization, and Hardware Assist

There are a range of strategies that VMware is pursuing to improve virtualization performance over time. Binary translation, hardware assist and OS assist (paravirtualization) are all effective techniques for x86 virtualization, but their relative value and importance will remain in flux as the enterprise computing virtualization market continues to evolve and mature. VMware started this revolution nearly a decade ago, and is continuing to lead the industry in building out an open standards and operating system agnostic virtualization ecosystem to help companies transform their IT environments.

 

Tomorrow’s virtualization likely involves vendor-supported paravirtualized OSes that are installed into industry standard disk format files and able to run either natively or on a variety of compatible and interchangeable hypervisors that take advantage of hardware assisted management of the CPU, memory and I/O devices.
