Virtual Iron provides enterprise-class virtualization software solutions for server virtualization
and virtual infrastructure management. Virtual Iron offers comparable
capabilities to VMware for a fraction of the cost and delivers all the benefits
of primary virtualization use cases. The software provides advanced
virtualization capabilities that leverage industry standards, open source
economics and built-in hardware-assisted acceleration. These solutions enable
companies to:
Quickly and
economically deploy software to set up development, test and production
environments
Match resource
capacity to workload demands via workload management capabilities
Recover from
failures quickly, reliably and cost-efficiently via high availability and
disaster recovery capabilities
Reduce human
labor and errors via policy-based management
Reduce the cost
of managing, maintaining and securing desktop infrastructure.
The Virtual Iron Platform
Open
Source Hypervisor
The
open
source hypervisor project provides the foundation for Virtual
Iron. It leverages the hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities built into
Intel™ and AMD™ processors to create an abstraction layer between physical
hardware and virtual resources. Virtual Iron extended the open source
hypervisor to support 32- and 64-bit operating systems running
concurrently on a shared hardware, up to 8 CPUs per guest operating system, up
to 96 GB memory, and multiple storage and network adapters.
Virtualization
Stack
Virtual Iron’s
virtualization stack sits on top of the open source hypervisor.
The virtualization
stack includes dynamic infrastructure life cycle management, server
partitioning, and LiveMigrate™, a feature allowing virtual servers to move
between physical servers without pausing operating systems or
applications. In addition, Virtual Iron provides storage and network
connectivity, high-performance I/O for near native performance, multi-pathing,
and resource monitoring for automatic recovery of virtual servers in event of
failure. As a result, users get streamlined data centre management and reduced
operational costs.
Virtualization
Manager
This
product includes a system manager allowing centralized control of the
virtualized infrastructure. Virtualization Manager includes advanced features
such as a built-in policy based engine and an event monitor to optimize application
performance, ensure high availability and simplify virtual and physical
resource management. Virtualization Manager also enables rapid provisioning and
reconfiguration, through operating system templates and cloning. These features
streamline tasks that are normally highly manual and time-intensive and
significantly reduce the complexity in the data centre.
The
virtualization manager is easily accessed via web based GUI interface or
through a set of CLI command.
