- Paravirtualization is a way of running multiple instances of

|

- under a hypervisor, improving performance significantly.
|

VMI provides a paravirtualized interface to the VMware ESX server

(it could be used by other hypervisors in theory too, but is not
|
|

at the moment), by linking the kernel to a GPL-ed ROM module
