Infinity Help - Terminology
1. Traditional hypervisors scan all guest memory and compute checksums (hashes) for every single
memory page. Then, they look for pages with identical hashes and compare the entire content of
those pages; if two pages produce the same hash, it is very likely that the pages are identical in
content. This, of course, can take rather long, especially if the system is not idling. As a result,
the additional memory only becomes available after a significant amount of time (this can be
hours or even days!). Even worse, this kind of page sharing algorithm generally consumes
significant CPU resources and increases the virtualization overhead by 10-20%.
2. Page Fusion in VirtualBox uses logic in the VirtualBox Guest Additions to quickly identify
memory cells that are most likely identical across VMs. It can therefore achieve most of the
possible savings of page sharing almost immediately and with almost no overhead.
3. Page Fusion is also much less likely to be confused by identical memory that it will eliminate just
to learn seconds later that the memory will now change and having to perform a highly expensive
and often service-disrupting reallocation.
PXE.
Pre boot eXecution Environment allows computers to boot directly from the network instead of a
local drive.
Java.
Java is a computing platform used by infinity allowing you to run Infinity from any computer that
has Java installed. Infinity needs Java version 6 or higher.
Web Start.
Web Start automates the installing and running of the Infinity Agent, Administrator Console and
Remote Access programs when selecting them from the Infinity Servers web page.
ZFS
ZFS is a combined file system and logical volume manager designed by Sun Microsystems. The
features of ZFS include data integrity verification against data corruption modes, support for high
storage capacities, integration of the concepts of file system and volume management, snapshots and
copy-on-write clones, continuous integrity checking and automatic repair.
