CPU manufacturers are rapidly working on implementing hardware-based hypervisors, such as AMD's Pacifica project. It is now almost common-place for corporate IT divisions to replace en masse the single-purpose 1U machine hosting one operating system with a 4U machine hosting 20 independent operating systems.
