Industry:Software
A device designed with specific awareness that it is running in a virtualized environment.
Industry:Software
(1) The source virtual machine from which you take a snapshot or make a clone. If you delete the parent virtual machine, any snapshot becomes permanently disabled. (2) In a VMware vSphere inventory, the managed entity that immediately encloses a given entity (considered the child entity). See also full clone, linked clone, snapshot, template.

Counter information includes the group to which the counter belongs (for example, memory), counter ID, counter name, key, statistic type, rollup type, and the kind of entity for which the counter is reported. CPU usage is an example of a performance counter.
Industry:Software
A disk mode in which all disk writes that are issued by software running inside a virtual machine are immediately and permanently written to a virtual disk that is configured as an independent disk. As a result, a virtual disk or physical disk in independent-persistent mode behaves like a conventional disk drive on a physical computer. See also disk mode, nonpersistent mode.
Industry:Software
In hosted products, a hard disk in a virtual machine that is mapped to a physical disk drive or partition on the host machine. A virtual machine’s disk can be stored as a file on the host file system or on a local hard disk. When a virtual machine is configured to use a physical disk, vCenter Server directly accesses the local disk or partition as a raw device (not as a file on a file system). See also virtual disk.
Industry:Software
A network of physical machines (plus cabling, switches, routers, and so on) that are connected so that they can send data to and receive data from each other. See also virtual network.
Industry:Software
