	Yeah I think COMP 3008 and 3004 just wrecked us... Thank you for finding the time to combine it. Hope my introduction was good...

			Hey guys nice work, sorry I didn't have time to add more to the essay today. I combined the essay into a FrankenEssay which is on the front page and added a conclusion. If read through it but if anyone notices a mistake I missed go ahead and correct it.

	Using VMWare on a Windows system allows users to hot-add RAM and hot-plug adds a new virtual CPU to the virtualized system. Using these hot-adding and hot-plugging techniques the virtual computer can grow in size to be able to accept loads varying in size. Due to some circumstances with different CPU's and guest OS's, the virtual machine may have to restart and is unable to hot-add/hot-plug. For example, the virtual machine of a Windows Server 2008 ENT x64 OS allows you to hot-add memory but you must restart it to remove memory and to add/remove CPU.

	In non-virtual systems, Windows coupled with the program Go-HotSwap can hot-plug CompactPCI components. CompactPCI components allow many different devices to be plugged into their slots (e.g. multiple SATA hard drives) which makes a Windows system with these technologies very modular. The Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter released in 2009 uses dynamic hardware partitioning. Dynamic hardware partitioning means that its hardware can be partitioned into separate hardware with processors and other components which allows for hot-swapping/hot-adding of these partitions where needed. feel free to edit [[User:Nshires\|Nshires]] 03:49, 15 October 2010 (UTC)		In non-virtual systems, Windows coupled with the program Go-HotSwap can hot-plug CompactPCI components.

	The source you mentioned talks about a virtual machine and that it can be hot-swapped with no downtime depending on the guest OS with no downtime. Some guest OS's need a reboot but some do not. The virtual Windows Server 2008 ENT x64 can hot-add memory with no downtime, it seems that no virtual os can hot-add cpu without rebooting. And the second part of my paragraph talks about physical Windows systems coupled with a program that enables hot-swapping of SATA hard drives and other components with no downtime.

	I do agree that hot-swapping in a virtual machine may be kind of useless though haha :S. And I'll check out the Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter OS, Thanks [[User:Nshires\|Nshires]] 00:33, 15 October 2010 (UTC)		I do agree that hot-swapping in a virtual machine may be kind of useless though haha :S.

			Revised:
			A useful feature that mainframes have is the ability to hot-swap. Hot-swapping is the ability to swap out components of a computer/mainframe for new components with no downtime (i.e. the system continues to run through this process). Hot-swapping occurs when there is faulty hardware in one of the processors inside the mainframe. Technicians are able to swap out this component without the mainframe being turned off or crashing. Hot-swapping is also used when upgrading processors, memory and storage inside the mainframe. With the right software and setup (redundancy) a mainframe is able to be upgraded and/or repaired as is sees fit by adding and removing components such as hard drives and processors.

			Using VMWare on a Windows system allows users to hot-add RAM and hot-plug adds a new virtual CPU to the virtualized system. Using these hot-adding and hot-plugging techniques the virtual computer can grow in size to be able to accept loads varying in size. Due to some circumstances with different CPU's and guest OS's, the virtual machine may have to restart and is unable to hot-add/hot-plug. For example, the virtual machine of a Windows Server 2008 ENT x64 OS allows you to hot-add memory but you must restart it to remove memory and to add/remove CPU.

	Hey guys.According to the resources above, the method for Windows to provide high input/output and massive throughput is almost the same. But I have no idea how to combine the two ~~section~~. Do we need to write somthing about input/output or just consider it under the massive throughput?
