Policies that give you detailed and flexible control over the network access you can provide to users of your ACE instances. Using a packet filtering firewall, the network access feature lets you specify exactly which machines or subnets an ACE instance or its host system may access.
Industry:Software
A set of controls, governed by policies, that ensure only up-to-date virtual machines have access to specified resources on an organization’s network. These controls enable administrators to specify which machines or subnets a virtual machine may access.
Industry:Software
An expansion board that provides a dedicated connection between a computer and a network. Also called a network adapter.
Industry:Software
A disk mode in which all disk writes that are issued by software running inside a virtual machine appear to be written to the independent disk. In fact, they are discarded after the virtual machine is powered off. As a result, a virtual disk or physical disk in independent-nonpersistent mode is not modified by activity in the virtual machine. See also disk mode, persistent mode.
Industry:Software
Amount of storage that is used only by a virtual machine and is not shared with other virtual machines. (This terms was formerly called unshared storage.) Also, the amount of guaranteed storage that can be reclaimed if a virtual machine is migrated out of a datastore or is deleted.
Industry:Software
The file name used for storing BIOS settings belonging to a virtual machine.
Industry:Software
A packaging format for virtual machines that allows virtual machine templates to be distributed, customized, and instantiated on any OVA supporting VMM.
Industry:Software
A distribution format for virtual appliances that uses existing packaging tools to combine one or more virtual machines with a standards-based XML wrapper. OVF gives the virtualization platform a portable package containing all required installation and configuration parameters for virtual machines. This format allows any virtualization platform that implements the standard to correctly install and run virtual machines.
Industry:Software
An installable bundle for distribution to end users. The package might include one or more virtual machines and an application used to run virtual machines.
Industry:Software
A component of an operating system that provides virtual memory for the system. Recently used pages of memory are swapped out to this area on the disk to make room in physical memory (RAM) for newer memory pages. Also called a swap file. See also virtual memory.
