IBM Security Access Manager for Web, Version 7.0

Virtualization support

Virtualization technology provides transparency to the operating systems, middleware, and applications that operate on top of it.

Virtualization allows a single physical computer to be partitioned into multiple physical or logical partitions. Each partition provides the look and feel of an independent operating system. Each partition is called a Virtual Machine or Virtual Environment.

A virtual machine manager is typically called a hypervisor.

Security Access Manager for Web can be used with the following hypervisors:
