Page 30 highlights

Dell 8.17 Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O The chipset provides hardware support for implementation of Intel Virtualization Technology with Directed I/O (Intel VT-d). Intel VT-d Technology consists of technology components that support the virtualization of platforms based on Intel Architecture Processors. Intel VT-d Technology enables multiple operating systems and applications to run in independent partitions. A partition behaves like a virtual machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions. Each partition is allocated its own subset of host physical memory.
