摘要：
Twelve years have passed since VMware engineers first virtualized the x86 architecture. This technological breakthrough kicked off a transformation of an entire industry, and virtualization is now (once again) a thriving business with a wide range of solutions being deployed, developed and proposed. But at the base of it all, the fundamental quest is still the same: running virtual machines as well as we possibly can on top of a virtual machine monitor.
