Virtualization Hardware
We offer AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon based hardware platforms for virtualization solutions. AMD and Intel have both developed extensions to the x86 architecture for virtualization. This is known as hardware-assisted virtualization.
It allows a hypervisor to run an unmodified guest operating system without incurring significant emulation performance penalties. The entire x86 instruction set is virtualized in hardware, as opposed to the software approach known as binary translation.
AMD Opteron

AMD's virtualization extensions to the 64-bit x86 architecture is named AMD Virtualization or simply AMD-V. All current AMD Opteron processors in dual and quad configurations include AMD-V support.
On dual processor systems we can do up to 8 processor cores and 64GB of memory.
On quad processor systems we can do up to 16 processor cores and 128GB of memory.
Intel Xeon

Intel's virtualization extensions to the 64-bit x86 architecture is named Intel Virtualization Technology or simply Intel VT, with the x86 processor technology specially named VT-x. All current Intel processors include Intel VT-x support.
On dual processor systems we can do up to 8 processor cores and 64GB of memory.
