Multiple operating environment support

In a virtual computing environment, a single server can run multiple operating environments simultaneously.

The POWER Hypervisor™ provides the ability to divide physical system resources into isolated logical partitions. Each logical partition operates like an independent system that is running its own operating environment. You can use this to consolidate dedicated servers on to a single server, which can reduce the costs of hardware and operations by optimizing the use of resources.

The following table describes operating environment support for each server platform.
