Integrate VMware Infrastructure
The simplest definition of the term “virtualization” I could find:
“In computing, virtualization is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources”
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization].
The following introductory video sheds a bit more light on this subject:
To summarize, without virtualization an OS (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, etc.) is tightly coupled to a computer’s hardware (PC, mainframe, etc.) and no other OS can run simultaneously on that same machine because it is already reserved by the OS. With virtualization a single computer can run multiple operating systems at the same time.
The idea of virtualization has been around for decades, pioneered by IBM [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-assisted_virtualization], but has become so popular and widely adopted only after VMware joined the game with its virtualization software products, one of which is VMware Virtual Infrastructure.
JAIN SLEE 1.1 – What’s New
In July JAIN SLEE 1.1 final release was officially announced. The 1.1 version defines the connection between the SLEE container and external resources by standardizing resource adapters architecture and relevant APIs. Resource adapters are entities that encapsulate the specific logic of protocol stack or other event based resource and export its functionality through a generic interfaces. In fact standardization of resource adapters was the primary focus of this release. The major advantage of this is that now resource adapters are fully portable across different JSLEE 1.1 implementations.
