Intel® Virtualization Technology Requirements
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) consists of technology components that support virtualization of platforms based on Intel® Processors, thereby enabling the running of multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions.
There are two types of virtualization:
| Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) | Improves the fundamental flexibility and robustness of traditional software-based virtualization solutions by accelerating key functions of the virtualized platform, including:
|
| Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d) | Provides additional performance, security, and flexibility by providing the VMM with the following capabilities:
|
Intel® Desktop Boards require the following components to support Intel VT or Intel VT-d:
- Intel Processor that supports Intel VT
- BIOS with Intel VT or VT-d support (found on the Security menu in BIOS setup)
- A third-party VMM (virtual machine manager) may also be required
To see if your processor supports Intel VT, refer to Does my processor support Intel® Virtualization Technology?
