Virtualization is old. I used VMWare on Windows 2000.
- p_ing 1y agoNot used in the same way, see VBS.
- voidspark 1y agoI know VMWare workstation is not the same, but there were VBS-like systems back in the 1970's. IBM pioneered hardware virtualization for isolation on their System/370 mainframes with VM/370 in 1972. VMWare ESX hypervisor brought virtualization to x86 servers (2001). Xen hypervisor introduced open-source virtualization for x86 (2003). By the time VBS showed up, the concepts were already several decades old.
- p_ing 1y agoVBS isn't even the same idea as a full blown VM in a type 1 or 2 hypervisor. I'm not sure why you're attempting to make the comparison.
- voidspark 1y agoI am talking about core concepts, not specific implementation details. VBS uses a hypervisor and hardware virtualization to isolate processes for security. These concepts trace back to systems like the IBM VM/370. Conceptually it's essentially the same thing. The difference with VBS is the scope and purpose of what's being virtualized.
