AVTware and Live Host Migration

A Virtual Machine such as VMware or KVM allows you to migrate an installation with active virtual Alpha(s) and/or VAX(es) from one host system to another. This enhances the resiliency of your virtual Alpha/VAX environment to levels beyond those of the original systems. It will likely also work with Xen, although we are currently unaware of any live testing of this environment.
