scuzzman Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Intel will add a new virtualization technology to its Pentium family a year ahead of schedule, the company said Thursday. Codenamed Vanderpool, the technology lets a computer or server run multiple operating systems (Windows and Linux) and applications on the same machine in independent partitions or "containers." The concept of virtualization has been around in mainframes for years, but now Intel is extending the technology into the home and corporate client PCs. Intel said it is still on track to bring the technology to its Itanium family starting with its 90-nanometer Montecito release later this year. The chipmaking giant committed itself to adding Vanderpool -- or VT -- to its PC processors in 2006, to coincide with Microsoft's (Quote, Chart) next-generation Windows OS named Longhorn. But Intel decided to fast track the process after getting a wealth of positive feedback from its testing last year.Original story here.
