AMD Highlights Hardware Feature Key to Managing Virtualized IT Infrastructures

In a new white paper made available this week and at an industry address at KVM Forum 2007, AMD today disclosed details about “AMD-V™ Extended Migration”, a feature dating back to the First-Generation AMD Opteron™ processor that enables virtual machines to migrate between different versions of AMD processors. AMD has worked with VMware, the industry leading virtualization software provider, to refine this feature in order to enable a key functionality designed to help IT managers fully leverage the benefits of virtualized IT infrastructures. In addition, to further contribute to the industry discussion around how to implement and manage virtualization capabilities, AMD will be showcasing AMD-V Extended Migration using VMware Infrastrucutre at VMworld in San Francisco, September 11-13, 2007.
