To NetBSD users:

We are curently working on a Mainframe-Class Virtual Machines
on High-Performance Sparc Servers and Workstations. This
software solution will provide the ability to run multiple
operating systems on your ultrasparc-based servers (VMsparc
server) and workstations (VMsparc) at the same time, without
the need to buy extra hardware.

VMsparc will provide a virtualization layer of your ultrasparc
architecture and will let your run locally or export across a
network multiple virtual ultrasparc machines, able to run Solaris,
Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD from your workstation or server.

VMsparc Server will provide advanced resource management controls
for servers, to manage hard drives and memory allocation,  CPU(s)
usage and network interfaces of the virtual machines exported
over the network.

VMsparc Server will also include security enhancement features
to control the network operations, operating system and process
behavior of each virtual machine.

VMsparc will be available for Solaris/Sparc, Sparc Linux,
FreeBSD/sparc64, NetBSD/sparc64 and OpenBSD/sparc64. The product
is in development, for quality purposes, we are looking for
beta testers, if you are interested, please send me an email at
jibanes@eskimo.com and you'll receive a beta version, documentation
and serial number (for testing purposes only) as soon as the
product enter in its quality test phase.
