PowerVM: Provides virtualization of Processors, Memory, Storage, & Networking for AIX, IBM i, and Linux environments on Power Systems.

Initial Offering: 2004

Initial Offering: Q2 2014

PowerKVM: Open Source option for virtualization on Power Systems for Linux workloads. For clients that have Linux centric admins. (RHEL 6.5 & SLES 11.3)

Preliminary KVM details:a) Virtualizes selected systems – Scale-Out models, Linux-onlyb) Extends Power virtualization to lightweight, x86-like solutionsc) Executes directly on hardware, not nested virtualization in an LPARd) Supports system “migration” to PowerVM via early boot-time selections

(configurable)e) Runs without an HMC, IVM, or VIOSf) Embraces opensource clouds and other virtualization SW through standard interfaces

like oVirt (VDSM) and OpenStackg) Holds potential to reduce number of hypervisors in the datacenter
