Virtualization Improves Efficiency
By decoupling computing workloads from the underlying hardware infrastructure, virtualization can dramatically improve server and system I/O efficiency – in some cases by as much as four to five times. Groups of servers, storage devices and networks, as well as desktops, are converted to shared pools of computing resources, and this collected power is then dynamically allocated to applications as required.

Creating the Virtual Machine
The Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM), also known as a Hypervisor, creates a layer of abstraction between the virtual servers and the hardware, thus allowing multiple operating systems to run concurrently. As a result of this Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) transformation, end user applications run in an isolated fashion. The process of encapsulation combines a set of virtual hardware resources to an operating system, thus providing portability across the enterprise and enhanced management capability.

Servers Designed for Virtualized Applications
Since migrating to the x86 world in the 1990s virtualization has increasingly been adopted for use in nearly every industry, from healthcare to video processing and energy management systems. To address this market, Trenton designs low profile motherboard-based servers as well as larger systems using segmented backplanes and multiple single board computers - a configuration which allows up to six SBCs in one enclosure.

Processor capabilities such as those found with Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) and Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) are key elements of Trenton computing platforms that incorporate virtualization in the overall design of High Assurance Platforms (HAPs).
