A hypervisor is a software technology used in virtualization, which allows several operating systems to run side-by-side on a given piece of hardware.
Â
Unlike conventional virtual-computing programs, a hypervisor runs directly on the target hardware’s “bare metal,” instead of as a program in another operating system. This allows both the guest OSes and the hypervisor to perform that much more efficiently.
Â
Recently, the question came up: "What sets the SkyNet Data Solutions apart from Rackspace and Amazon's EC2?".
Â
By utilizing hypervisor technology,SkyNet offers a fully customizable virtual machine environment from the start!
Â
For example, with SkyNet as your provicer, you can get a 1 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB persistent storage option with the click of your mouse and a quick reboot. Most cloud service providers limit you to specific CPU/RAM/Storage sized configurations that won’t scale or expand on your wishes and commands. Each of our many images comes with pre-installed operating systems ready to go on statically sized disk images and at any point you can add additional persistent disk images to your virtual machine, or you can changethe number and size of CPUs and RAM "on-the-fly".
We also offer hardware based VLAN capabilities. While they cannot be provisioned on demand, a simple request to our tech support will get one created free of charge. Combined with a virtual appliance installed with Vyatta, a customer can completely secure a set of virtual machines from the outside world and the Internet slums.
Of course, we didn't do this on our own. We have to give huge props to the ever awesome team over at Enomaly. Other than that, most of our infrastructure is open sourced. So here's a great big shoutout to:Vyatta, CentOS, Xen, Fedora, Ubuntu and FAN.
