Virtualization software delivers, enables and supports virtual environments, processors and applications by isolating system resources from underlying computing or application services. Virtualization provides the components, functions and features including host and or guest systems, machines or types.

802 Application Virtualization SoftwareApplication virtualization software allows for the creation of application packages independent of any operating system. The application package can be installed and isolated from the host operating system but is still able to interact with the host and other applications. Virtual applications can be freely installed or removed without disrupting the host.

804 Desktop Virtualization SoftwareDesktop virtualization software allows for the creation and modification of an operating system independent from the hardware. The virtual desktop should be able to run on multiple different hardware platforms and move freely from one to another when required without modifications.

806 Server Virtualization SoftwareServer virtualization software allows for the creation of multiple guest operating systems (guest operating system (OS)/virtual machine (VM) within a server host operating system (Host OS). It allows for unmodified guest operating systems to run in isolation while using the same instruction set as the host OS. These environments utilize some resource sharing and process isolation.

808 Storage Virtualization SoftwareVirtualization storage software provides block or file allowing delivery through various protocols such as fibre channel or network file system. Storage systems can provide either block-accessed storage, or file accessed storage. Access is delivered over various protocols or file systems thereby allowing separation of the logical storage from the physical storage or eliminating dependencies between data access file and location of physical data.
