7.5 Performance considerations with Power virtualization
features
IBM PowerVM on Power Systems servers can be consider virtualization without limits.
Businesses are turning to PowerVM virtualization to consolidate multiple workloads into fewer
systems, increasing server utilization to ultimately help reduce cost. PowerVM provides a
secure and scalable virtualization environment for AIX, IBM i, and Linux applications that is
built upon the advanced RAS features and leading performance of the Power Systems
platform.
In this section, we introduce performance considerations when implementing PowerVM
features. We discuss the following topics:
Dynamic logical partitioning (DLP ...
