[PART1] NxTop Client Hypervisor type I Virtual Computer

[iroxe1]

@damtux, can you explain how the NxTop Client works?

As in, do you install it on your computer, then install the three (or more) different OS' onto the program?

Is it even a program, or an OS in itself, and you then install others on top of it?

Thanks for the video, it looks like a really useful product!

@iroxe1 @iroxe1 Hi, thanks NxTop is what we call a Type I Hypervisor meaning that it"s a very small OS based Linux with Virtualisation Kernel included. A Type II would be VMware Workstation for ex ... After installing the Hypervisor you can either install your VMs locally or use a management console that will copy/syncronise all VMs register for a user More than a powerfull hypervisor the solution brings a very efficient and complete management console ! Cheers

@damtux Thanks for the info!

So just to confirm- it's a Linux OS, from which you can access the other OS' installed? And so is the Linux in your video the starter Linux OS, and the two Windows ones later installations?

Thanks!

@ashenlar There is only one small linux OS dedicated to launch VMs. VMs has been syncronised from a management console to the laptop and are executed locally on the device.

Looks like very promising! Virtual Computer seems to have a real advanced compare to Citrix Xen hypervisor. Let's wait for benchmarks!
