No sé del tema y tampoco conozco el idioma como para asegurarlo, pero
creo que hablan de virtualizar.

Virtualization and abstraction
Two terms you hear in the computer world are virtualization and abstraction
Virtualization for IBM servers includes several aspects. One thing it includes is software that is used to hide
the details of different operating systems and hardware platforms from the administrators and system managers.
The idea is that an administrator should be able to do a function like check on disk space used on any system or
partition and not have to worry about different commands, terminology, or details of how that function is done on
the various OSs. The term abstraction is also used since the physical details of the OS are hidden, or removed, and are
replaced by an abstract, logical view. The IBM Virtualization Engine uses virtualization in its name because it has
components that abstract the details of the various IBM server platforms and OSs and allow you to work with one
consistent, logical view of your various systems.
Another idea included in virtualization is having different physical partitions or systems that
are managed as one resource. For example, if the many Linux partitions on an i5 box could
automatically shift work between themselves, then you could view those resources as one
large, virtual Linux engine. The details of how the work balancing is done are handled by
software so you do not have to manually allocate and reallocate resources. Storage
resources can be virtualized using Storage Area Networks (SAN) and other technologies.
This allows you to manage a collection of storage devices as though they were one.
Virtualization and having multiple partitions on a system often go together. iSeries hardware
can run i5/OS, Linux, and AIX OSs in partitions. The details of the hardware are hidden by the
OSs, and your one physical box becomes many virtual systems
