Learn about the virtualization capabilities of both HP-UX and AIX. The intent of this article is to educate you and also to help you make informed decisions as to which platform works best for you, from a feature and functionality standpoint and for your long-term strategic goals.

Active Memory Sharing (AMS) is an enhancement to IBM's PowerVM virtualization technology available on the POWER6 platform. This article describes how to configured Active Memory Sharing on AIX. It also touches on performance considerations with AMS and gives you a better understand of how AMS interacts with the virtual memory.

Why is virtualization so important? The short answer is that virtualization enables businesses to lower their technology Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), while increasing their Return on Investment (ROI). What do the top UNIX vendors have to offer with respect to virtualization? Find out what virtualization is more scalable. Here's a look at HP's Virtual Server Environment (VSE), Sun's xVM, and IBM's PowerVM.

This article discussed how the concepts around cloud computing naturally lend themselves to AIX and Power Systems. Some of the drivers include: virtualization (PowerVM), RAS, availability offerings, as well as new feature/functionality of both AIX and POWER servers. Cloud computing appears to have a bright future ahead of it, and POWER servers driven by AIX (and Linux) stand to be a big part of that future.
