As used herein, a software defined server refers to an assembly or collection or cluster of hardware modules (e.g., computing nodes or individual computers) that run a distributed virtual machine manager referred to herein as a “hyper-kernel.”
Compared to existing distributed multi-server architectures, on which a single physical node or server supports many virtual machines, in a software defined server, a single virtual machine that spans many physical nodes/servers is supported.
Details regarding an example implementation of a software defined server are described below.
