Virtualization
Virtualization is an abstraction layer that decouples the physical hardware from the operating system to deliver greater IT resource utilization and flexibility. It allows multiple virtual machines, with heterogeneous operating systems to run in isolation, side-by-side on the same physical machine. Each virtual machine has its own set of virtual hardware (e.g., RAM, CPU, NIC, etc.) upon which an operating system and applications are loaded. The operating system sees a consistent, normalized set of hardware regardless of the actual physical hardware components.
Virtual machines are encapsulated into files, making it possible to rapidly save, copy and provision a virtual machine. Full systems (fully configured applications, operating systems, BIOS and virtual hardware) can be moved, within seconds, from one physical server to another for zero-downtime maintenance and continuous workload consolidation.
At Exsilio we are taking this exciting new technology to whole new level by developing comprehensive, virtual road maps and test drives for some of the biggest software brands in the industry.
Featured Virtualization Projects
Windows Vista Test DriveWindows Vista Test Drive
Windows Vista SP1 Test Drive highlights SP1 features. It started as an onsite learning vehicle at the Office, Vista, Exchange launch events in January of 2007, and evolved into a highly-visited web property. It features both hands-on and video learning, which includes Exsilio voice talent.
Virtual Lab ProgramVirtual Lab Program
Microsoft's Virtual Lab program allows users to evaluate and test some of their most popular applications through a series of guided, hands-on labs you can complete in 90 minutes or less without having to install anything on your computer!
VHD Test DriveVHD Test Drive
The VHD Test Drive Program enabled Microsoft customers and partners to confidently evaluate mainstream business software in a fraction of the time and effort traditionally associated with software evaluation. Customers use fully functional virtual machines with the evaluation software preinstalled and preconfigured.
