VNX Project Documentation

VNX (Virtualization over X) is the new release of the VNUML tool. VNX brings important new functionalities that overcome the most important limitations VNUML tool has:

  • Integration of new virtualization platforms to allow virtual machines running other operating systems (Windows, FreeBSD, etc) apart from Linux. In this sense:
    • VNX uses libvirt to interact with the virtualization capabilities, allowing the use of most of the virtualization platforms available for Linux (KVM, Xen, etc)
    • Integrates Dynamips to allow limited emulation of CISCO routers
  • Restart of individual virtual machines
  • Autoconfiguration and command execution capabilities for several operating systems: Linux, FreeBSD, Windows XP, Windows
