Proving the point
The market leader in virtualisation software is VMware, but Microsoft also has a technology called Hyper-V. The recently released R2 beta version of Windows Server 2008 added support for AMD's set of on-chip virtualisation features, collectively called AMD-V.
"The AMD ecosystem of hardware and software partners like Microsoft, Sun and VMware illustrates a strong confidence in the advanced virtualization capabilities AMD-V offers," said Margaret Lewis, director of commercial solutions at AMD.
"Enabled in part by RVI, Live Migration across our 65-nm and 45-nm Quad-Core and upcoming Six-Core AMD Opteron processors provides further evidence of the flexibility of AMD-V technology for data center customers upgrading their systems."
AMD also recently conducted a press tour to promote this very subject. Here are a few of the slides intended to prove its point.
