Understanding KVM /  What is KVM ?
KVM has two meanings.

Keyboard Video Mouse -  for direct control of computers 

From this point we get various connection control methods with hardware to switch over or extend the access to the computers. it can be local or remote.

The user point is sometimes referred to as the console.

The advantages of this is, it is totally out of band access, are we have direct access to bios level of the computers from boot up, it does not use the computers network access port or need this to be active and can thus offer isolated ultimate security.

We have a vast array of solutions in this arena for secure desk use, datacentre, manufacturing, control room, Video / AV broadcast, local or remote as this website aims to provide and show all the possibilities.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine

Kernel-based Virtual Machine is a free and open-source virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows the kernel to function as a hypervisor.

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) The full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc. KVM is open source software. The kernel component of KVM is included in mainline Linux, as of 2.6.20. The user space component of KVM is included in mainline QEMU, as of 1.3 which was released on February 5, 2007
