Virtualization Clause Samples

Virtualization. Publisher recognizes Virtualization through partitioning. Should DOD desire to implement virtualization for Publisher’s software programs licensed pursuant to this agreement, partitioning shall be defined and executed as follows: a) Soft Partition (also called Software Partition): Soft Partition means to partition the operating system using system resource managers that limit the number of CPUs running Publisher Programs. Soft Partitioning creates areas within the same operating system where CPU resources are specifically allocated to respective applications. b) Hard Partition (also called Hardware Partition): Hard Partition means to partition the server by physically separating the processors of a single server into distinct smaller servers, each of which acts as a physically independent, self-contained server, typically with its own dedicated CPUs, operating system, separate boot area, memory, input/output subsystem, and network resources. c) Implementation: If DOD partitions through either Soft Partitioning or Hard Partitioning then DOD is only required to license programs for the partitions on which DOD will be installing and/or running the software.

Virtualization. For each copy of the Apple Software subject to a lease under this Section 3, either a Lessor or a Lessee (but not both) may install, use and run additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments in accordance with Section 2B(iii), provided that a Lessor may only virtualize a single instance or copy of the Apple Software as a provisioning tool for the purpose of providing a Lessee with access to and use of the Apple Software pursuant to this Section 3.

Virtualization. When CA Software is used on multiple machines (physical and “virtual”), each such use of the CA Software shall be counted for the purposes of determining the Authorized Use Limitation for that CA Software. A “virtual” PC or server environment is created where Virtual Machine Technology (which applies to both client and server hardware) is used to enable multiple instances of an operating system(s) to run on a single computer simultaneously.

Virtualization. The VMWare platform is used for server virtualization. The current version is VMWare vSphere 6.5. When designing an application architecture, it is possible to use the VMware HA technology to ensure high availability of the virtual server.

Virtualization. Maintenance of virtualization in the Client's infrastructure includes installation of software updates, changes to software settings, event log checks, firewall management, availability monitoring. While supervising virtualization, Baltneta creates/deletes virtual machines, changes parameters of virtual servers (RAM, vCPU, disk space), changes network settings of virtual machines, and monitors the load of the virtualized infrastructure.

Virtualization. The first option proposed and already being used by some partners is virtualization. Installing all the software and doing all the maintenance for a server has a high cost. A hackers attack or a malfunction may require the reinstallation of all the software; it may cause the loss of data, etc. Virtualization lets the service provider to create a virtual machine (or many) inside a real machine. The virtual machine can be stopped, run, rebooted, etc. These virtual machines are the ones hosting the web services and the ones which may suffer problems due to its public access. Thanks to the virtualization, if one machine has a problem, the service provider can easily turn it off, restore a copy and reboot it. This system also allows to separate web services in groups. Each group can be hosted in one virtual machine. If one web service has a malfunction or it requires maintenance only its virtual machine is affected, leaving the rest of virtual machines completely operational. There are several software solutions for virtualization like vmware25, virtualbox26, KVM27, etc. Some solutions are professional expensive solutions while others are free. UPF is using KVM to host several virtual machines in one server. One of these machines hosts the UPF web services and a new virtual machine is planned to host other web services. Once a month, the virtual machines are automatically stopped and a full backup is created. The experience has been successful so far although it must be taken into account that the real machine hosting these virtual machines must be a considerably powerful server: 1. Fast hard drives : having one operating system (OS) reading and writing in one hard drive requires a less fast hard drive than, for example, 6 OS reading and writing on that same hard drive.

Virtualization. Should DOD desire to implement virtualization for Publisher’s software programs licensed pursuant to this agreement, partitioning shall be defined and executed as follows: a) Soft Partition (also called Software Partition): Soft Partition means to partition the operating system using system resource managers that limit the number of CPUs running Publisher Programs. Soft Partitioning creates areas within the same operating system where CPU resources are specifically allocated to respective applications, so long as it is understood it is the DoD’s responsibility to determine that the necessary system requirements are met to deploy and run the Software. b) Hard Partition (also called Hardware Partition): Hard Partition means to partition the server by physically separating the processors of a single server into distinct smaller servers, each of which acts as a physically independent, self-contained server, typically with its own dedicated CPUs, operating system, separate boot area, memory, input/output subsystem, and network resources, so long as it is understood it is the DoD’s responsibility to determine that the necessary system requirements are met to deploy and run the Software. c) Implementation: If DOD partitions through either Soft Partitioning or Hard Partitioning then DOD is only required to license programs for the partitions on which DOD will be installing and/or running the software, so long as the DoD concurrently uses only as many copies of the Software as the number of Software licenses the DoD has purchased. All virtualization must conform to any applicable requirements of third- party licenses, to the extent such compliance is permitted under federal law, and provided any virtualization by third parties complies with the Software specific requirements of the “Third Party Hosting” section below. Not all virtualization methods may be supported.

Virtualization. This section shall apply only to licensed products for which Licensor has authorized virtualization. Publisher recognizes Virtualization through partitioning. Should DOD desire to implement virtualization for Publisher’s software programs licensed pursuant to this agreement, partitioning shall be defined and executed as follows: a) Soft Partition (also called Software Partition): Soft Partition means to partition the operating system using system resource managers that limit the number of CPUs running Publisher Programs. Soft Partitioning creates areas within the same operating system where CPU resources are specifically allocated to respective applications. b) Hard Partition (also called Hardware Partition): Hard Partition means to partition the server by physically separating the processors of a single server into distinct smaller servers, each of which acts as a physically independent, self-contained server, typically with its own dedicated CPUs, operating system, separate boot area, memory, input/output subsystem, and network resources. c) Implementation: If DOD partitions through either Soft Partitioning or Hard Partitioning then DOD is only required to license programs for the partitions on which DOD will be installing and/or running the software.

Virtualization. The virtualization pillar embraces the partitioning of computation or communication services with the aim of supporting isolation and flexibility in a cloud-based system. In computing services, virtualization is realized by hypervisors and virtual machines, or other related techniques such as containers. The networks can also be partitioned for various services using Software Defined networking (SDN).
