Editing Denali (operating system)

{{original research|date=July 2012}}
The '''Denali''' [[operating system]] is "an [[IA-32]] virtual machine monitor, that allows for untrusted services to be run in isolated (protected) domains."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kernelthread.com/publications/virtualization/ |title=An Introduction to Virtualization |publisher=kernelthread.com |accessdate=2011-08-09 |archive-date=2020-05-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200504153848/http://www.kernelthread.com/publications/virtualization/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Denali makes use of [[paravirtualization]] to support high performance virtual machines, even on the notoriously uncooperative x86 architecture (see [[x86 virtualization]]).  The envisioned usage model for the original Denali was to support virtual machines running lightweight single application operating systems for internet services.  A later revision of Denali ({{Not a typo|uDenali}}) includes support for running full-featured operating systems.
