High-end Virtualization
Computing virtualization is a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of a compute resource from the Operating System, applications or end users interacting with that compute resource.
There are two types of computing virtualization paradigms in the market today:
- Server virtualization: A single physical server appears to function as multiple logical (virtual) servers. It could also be defined as Partitioning .
- Desktop virtualization: The physical location of PC desktop is separated from the user that is accessing the PC. Such a remotely accessed PC can be located at home, office, or data center, while the user is located elsewhere. It could also be defined as Remoting .
ScaleMP has created a new computing virtualization paradigm:
- High-end virtualization: Multiple physical systems appear to function as a single logical system. ScaleMP defines this virtualization paradigm as Aggregation , as it is basically the opposite of Partitioning.

ScaleMP is the leader in virtualization for high-end computing. The innovative Versatile SMP (vSMP) architecture aggregates multiple x86 systems into a single virtual x86 system, delivering an industry-standard, high-end symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) computer. ScaleMP is using software to replace custom hardware and components, to offer a new, revolutionary computing paradigm.
The Versatile SMP
(vSMP) Architecture
The patent-pending Versatile SMP (vSMP) architecture enables the creation of high-end SMP systems. The vSMP architecture fundamentally replaces the functionality of custom and proprietary chipsets with software and commodity interconnects such as InfiniBand. It utilizes only a small fraction of the system's CPUs and RAM to provide chipset-level services without sacrificing system performance.
vSMP Foundation is ScaleMP's implementation of the vSMP architecture. vSMP Foundation aggregates multiple x86 system boards into one larger SMP system, allowing system vendors and value-add-resellers to create high-end x86 solutions using industry-standard components, eliminating the need for lengthy and onerous custom hardware development.
