Virtual machines are also convenient abstractions of server workloads, since they cleanly encapsulate the entire state of a running sys- tem, including both user-level applications and kernel- mode operating system services.

The design of ESX Server dif- fers significantly from VMware Workstation, which uses a hosted virtual machine architecture [23] that takes ad- vantage of a pre-existing operating system for portable I/O device support.

(a) Ten Windows NT VMs serving users at a Fortune 50 company, running a va- riety of database (Oracle, SQL Server), web (IIS, Websphere), development (Java, VB), and other applications.

ESX Server employs a similar approach, but uses four thresholds to reflect different reclamation states: high, soft, hard, and low, which default to 6%, 4%, 2%, and 1% of system memory, respectively.

The ESX Server mechanism for working-set estima- tion is related to earlier uses of page faults to main- tain per-page reference bits in software on architectures lacking direct hardware support [2].
