Gridget > Hypervisor and more

[Expert Texture] This is the most interesting part of the road map and something that I have been looking forward to for some time. The possible benefits of this to grid computing are enormous: the more the OS supports virtualization the easier it will become to instantiate virtualized sandboxes for secure and unintrusive distributed computing.

Application packaging and deployment is easier, OS installation and deployment across 1000's of hosts is possible, checkpointing and moving applications across hosts is commercial, network based instant application provisioning is available, Virtualized file and registry sandbox works and licensing compliance makes sense.

You could even create such an execution environment dynamically - on the fly - as you download something from the Internet and run it.

Virtualization.info[Virtualization.info] virtualization.info: December 2005: XenSource, Inc., the leader in infrastructure virtualization solutions based on the open source Xen hypervisor, today announced the open source community release of Xen 3.0. In its first major release in over a year, the Xen project has delivered a compelling virtualization feature set that is squarely targeted at enterprise infrastructure virtualization needs, focusing on support for symmetric multi-processing (SMP), large server memory configurations and near-native performance, and offering for the first time an ability to virtualize all guest operating systems.
