New Software from InovaWave More than Doubles Performance of Virtual Machines and Their Application Environments.DXtreme Gives Boost to VMware and Microsoft Virtual Machines The Java interpreter (Java Virtual Machine) that Microsoft customized for use with its Internet Explorer Web browser. Microsoft supported the product through 2007. See Java Virtual Machine and Java. LOS ANGELES Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. -- This week at the VMworld 2006 conference, booth #925, InovaWave[TM], Inc. will demonstrate version 1.0 of DXtreme[TM] for Windows, the industry's first software solution proven to more than double the performance of both server and desktop virtual machines, and the applications that run on them. The patent-pending software, which works with leading virtual machine solutions from VMware and Microsoft, allows organizations to run more than twice the average number of virtual machines on a single hardware device. DXtreme also doubles the speed of applications running inside the virtual machines, giving companies the consolidation benefits they've been promised from 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. , while boosting application performance. "Simply installing DXtreme more than doubled the performance of virtual machines running our EdgeProtect Suite. Even more amazing a·maze v. a·mazed, a·maz·ing, a·maz·es v.tr. 1.

"Using DXtreme improves developer productivity and dramatically boosts virtual machine density in our lab. DXtreme is letting NovusEdge take virtualization to the next level." The DXtreme software, which can be downloaded and installed in just minutes, enhances virtual machine performance by creating dedicated virtual disk channels designed specifically for virtualization. Doing so reduces the need for additional hardware investments, while also providing an alternative to the more costly and less efficient hardware-based 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 performance enhancements companies are considering. "The first goal of virtualization has always been to get as many virtual machines as possible running on a single hardware device," said Terry Ferose, President, 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. and co-founder of InovaWave. "But until now, virtual machines have only delivered limited improvements due to performance constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference. ["CONSTRAINTS: A Language for Expressing Almost-Hierarchical Descriptions", G.J. Sussman et al, Artif Intell 14(1):1-39 (Aug 1980)]. . By using high-performance virtual disk channels, DXtreme allows organizations to run not just two or three virtual machines on a single server or desktop, but four or five of them - and with better results." DXtreme is currently available and can be downloaded at http://evals.inovawave.com/downloads/dx. A 15-day software trial is available free of charge. Pricing for DXtreme starts at $149 per desktop and $575 per server. About InovaWave, Inc.
