History of virtualization The origin of virtualization Christopher Strachey A British computer scientist A pioneer in programming language design Introduction On Wikipedia Time sharing Published a paper titled “Time Sharing in Large Fast Computers” in the International Conference on Information Processing at UNESCO, New York, in June, 1959. Time-sharing is the sharing of a computing resource among many users by means of multiprogramming and multi-tasking. Server virtualization on Mainframe In the mid 1960s, IBM Watson Research Center was home to the M44/44X Project, the goal being to evaluate the then emerging time sharing system concepts. The architecture was based on virtual machines Main machine was an IBM 7044 (M44) Each virtual machine was an experimental image of the main machine (44X). The address space of a 44X was resident in the M44s memory hierarchy Implemented via virtual memory and multi-programming. Rarely used Computing infrastructure – Nearly 2000 Virtualization again… VMware restarted virtualization VMware, Inc. (NYSE:?VMW) is a company providing virtualization software founded in 1998 and based in Palo Alto, California, USA. It is majorily owned by EMC Corporation. In 1998, VMware introduced virtualization into x86 VMwares desktop software runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, while VMwares enterprise software hypervisors for servers, VMware ESX and VMware ESXi, are bare-metal embedded hypervisors that run directly on server hardware without requiring an additional underlying operating system. Xen Xen originated as a research project at the University of Cambridge, led by Ian Pratt, senior lecturer at Cambridge and founder of XenSource, Inc. The first public release of Xen occurred in 2003. On 22 October 2007, Citrix Systems completed its acquisition of XenSource and the Xen project moved to /. This move had started some time previously, and made public the existence of the Xen Project Advisory Board (Xen AB), which had members
