'''Virtual Resource Partitioning''' (also known as '''VRP''') is aan [[Operatingoperating system-level virtualization|virtualization]] technology that allowsallocates to allocated computerizedcomputing resources (such as CPU & IOI/O) to transactions. Conventional virtualization technologies allocate resources on an operating system ([[Windows]], [[Linux]]...) wide basis. VRP works 2 levels deeper by allowing regulation and control of the resources used by specific transactions within an application.
Unlike conventional virtualization technologies (such as those that are used by [[Vmware]] that allocates resources per operating system ([[windows]],[[Linux]]...), the VRP technology is working 2 level deeper while allowing to regulate and control the amount of resources that are used by specific transactions within the application.
VRP technology is used to give more (or less) resources to applicative transaction and by that, boost it (or slow it down).
In many computerized environment, a single user, application, or transaction can dominate all server resources and by that, affect the QoS & User experience of other active users, application or transactions.
