Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a virtualization infrastructure for the Linux kernel that turns it into a hypervisor.

It was merged into the Linux kernel mainline in kernel version 2.6.20, which was released on February 5, 2007.

KVM requires a processor with hardware virtualization extensions.

KVM has also been ported to FreeBSD and illumos in the form of loadable kernel modules.

The system console, computer console, root console, operator's console, or simply console is the text entry and display device for system administration messages, particularly those from the BIOS or boot loader, the kernel, from the init system and from the system logger.

It is a physical device consisting of a keyboard and a screen, and traditionally is a text terminal, but may also be a graphical terminal.

System consoles are generalized to computer terminals, which are abstracted respectively by virtual consoles and terminal emulators.

Today communication with system consoles is generally done abstractly, via the standard streams (stdin, stdout, and stderr), but there may be system-specific interfaces, for example those used by the system kernel.

In computer networks, out-of-band management involves the use of a dedicated channel for managing network devices.

This allows the network operator to establish trust boundaries in accessing the management function to apply it to network resources.

It also can be used to ensure management connectivity (including the ability to determine the status of any network component) independent of the status of other in-band network components.

A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems.

It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and various security devices.

Large data centers are industrial scale operations using as much electricity as a small town.

Computer hardware is the collection of physical components that constitute a computer system.

Computer hardware is the physical parts or components of a computer, such as monitor, keyboard, computer data storage, graphic card, sound card, motherboard, and so on, all of which are tangible objects.

By contrast, software is instructions that can be stored and run by hardware.
