3Leaf Systems and AMD Work Together to Develop Next-Generation Virtualization Technologies.Collaboration Delivers Best-of-Class Server Virtualization (1) Running applications in separate, isolated partitions within a single server. The "virtual machine" method can run different operating systems simultaneously, whereas the "OS virtualization" method runs applications for only one operating system (see virtual machine and OS Solutions to Improve Resource Utilization and Performance in Fortune 500 Data Centers SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- 3Leaf Systems, a provider of server virtualization solutions for next-generation data centers, today announced a relationship with AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. that aligns the two companies in the development of 3Leaf's Virtual Compute Environment (VCE VCE Victorian Certificate of Education (State of Victoria, Australia) VCE Virginia Cooperative Extension VCE Volvo Construction Equipment VCE Venice, Italy - Marco Polo (Airport Code) ), an advanced virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. architecture that enables mainframe-class capabilities for commodity servers. The first product on 3Leaf's VCE roadmap, the 3Leaf V-8000 Virtual I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output Server, was officially unveiled last month and it was developed using AMD64 technology. The 3Leaf V-8000 virtualizes the I/O for x86-based servers, supporting the entire line of AMD Opteron[TM] processors. Future products on the 3Leaf roadmap will continue to expand the AMD relationship by leveraging coherent HyperTransport[TM] technology, which 3Leaf has licensed. "3Leaf Systems is an ideal partner for AMD, because it supports our commitment to performance-per-watt leadership and extends the value of AMD Virtualization See AMD-V. [TM]," said Randy Allen, corporate vice president and general manager, Server/Workstation Division, AMD. "We will continue to work closely with 3Leaf to offer solutions that improve the overall utilization and performance of our customers' large-scale, AMD Opteron processor-based data centers." The 3Leaf Virtual Compute Environment delivers system-level virtualization across multiple racks to enable mainframe-class capabilities for commodity servers. With 3Leaf Systems' server virtualization solutions, organizations can significantly reduce their investments in infrastructure and operations, rapidly deploy and provision data center resources, and ensure resources are available to meet the unique business and performance requirements of today's data center applications. "AMD continues to be a catalyst for breakthrough processor innovations that power global business," said Bob Quinn, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of 3Leaf Systems. "We are excited to be working closely with AMD to quickly bring to market leading-edge server virtualization solutions that will help unlock the enormous untapped potential of scale-out data center architectures."
