VIRTUALIZATION (ID 67567) In general virtualization is a sw technique, which implements a layer of abstraction between the user (or application or interface) on the one side and its physical resources such as hardware components on the other side.
The level of abstraction makes it possible to combine several resources in a logical way, that makes them appear to the user as a single component. Or vice versa, that means it devides a resource in a logical way, that provides the user with several components.
In practice the purpose of virtualization is to use hardware and its components more flexibly and efficiently. There are different types of virtualization, as for example server virtualization, network virtualization, application virtualization, desktop virtualization, storage virtualization etc.
Values Descriptions No No Yes Yes
2.2 Regional and Local Features
TYPE OF VIRTUALIZATION (ID 67568 - Germany only)
Values Descriptions Server virtualization One physical server is divided into multiple isolated virtual environments. Server virtualization is used to eliminate server sprawl, to make efficient use of server resource, to improve server availability, etc. Network virtualization Is the process of combining hardware and software network resources and network functionality into a single, software-based administrative entity, a virtual network. Application virtualization Describes software technologies that improve the portability, manageability and compatibility of applications by encapsulation them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed. Desktop virtualization Refers to the separation of a personal computer desktop environment from a physical machine using a client-server model of computing. Storage virtualization Is the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device that is managed from a central console. Virtual management The centralized management and optimization of physical or virtual IT infrastructure. Infrastructure investments are maximized and the availability, performance and security are improved network-wide. Not Applicable The Software has no kind of virtualization
MDM Coding Rules: IF TYPE OF VIRTUAL != NOT APPLICABLE THEN VIRTUALIZATION = YES
At the moment we know that the following manufacturers produces software with Virtualization. It could be some more in Future, so please take also care at software of other manufacturers.:

- Pure Maintenance has to be coded as MAINTENANCE in the modeltext. - Software which will be sold Including a maintenance as INCL. MAINTENANCE in the modeltext. - The time of maintenance (in month) is part of the featuretext (TERM OF MAINTENANCE), different time of maintenance leads to different items.
GENERAL CODING HINTS:
- Most new Software of 2010 is compatible to windows 7, so it can work on 64bit. In case of doubt code the item as 64bit please.
- Do not create Bundles as items. If two different Software will be sold at once, then please create an according bundle. (PREMIUM SECURITY SUITE + TUNEUP UTILITIES, has to be coded as a bundle which consist of two item - PREMIUM SECURITY SUITE and TUNEUP UTILITIES)
Product Group: SOFTWARE Intl. PG-No.: 32686 01/07/2013 Page 45 of 46 - If you code a pure maintenance, then write in the modeltext MAINTENANCE. If you code a Software which has a maintenance included, then write in the modeltext INCL. MAINTENANCE. Otherwise we are not able to see the difference between pure maintenances and Software with maintenance.
