Joyent SmartMachine Virtual Machine Multiple virtual environments run on a single piece of hardware Multiple virtual environments run on a single piece of hardware SmartMachines provide a software architecture that abstracts hardware and provides OS Virtualization replicates hardware in software Resource pooling provides improved performance and bursting for vertical scaling Fixed subdivision of hardware resources increases hardware utilization but does not improve performance or provide vertical scale SmartOS provides a modern OS for application development Supports a variety of legacy operating systems, including Microsoft Windows SmartOS is shared and centrally managed Developer must manage own operating system Developer must architect for and manage multiple “machine” instances for horizontal scale Developer must architect for and manage multiple “machine” instances for horizontal scale Integrated, lightweight virtualization provides more CPU and RAM to applications Standalone virtualization layer consumes resources to replicate hardware in software
