More on PowerVM
Description from Wikipedia:
PowerVM, formerly known as Advanced Power Virtualization, or APV, is the virtualization feature first made available with POWER4 based pSeries computer servers from IBM and enhanced with the later release of POWER5 and POWER6 range of computers. This is an implementation of hardware and software virtualization technology.
The IBM System p and System i family of products share the POWER5 and POWER6 technology platform which is based on the POWER4 hypervisor technology.
In this case, virtualization means one computer running multiple operating systems (and their applications) at the same time. Each operating systems appears to be a separate machine but it is in fact hosted on a single server and sharing resource. When one operating system is not busy then typically its CPU time can be used by one of the others. This can be seen to either boost performance of the busy operating systems (by borrowing resources from unbusy ones) or save money (you buy less computer hardware to run a set of applications).
