This would be a better virtualization option for AIX, Linux, and IBM I clients; additional services would almost certainly be supported as well; nevertheless, it is up to you to decide if this is right for you.
New virtual domains allow you to improve on existing virtual domains, and they operate equally well on Linux and Windows. Storage and deployment speed are comparable to other choices such as VMware.
Take into note that the PowerVM's services are a combination of hardware, firmware, and software that supports CPU, network, and disk virtualization; this may have limits that you should investigate more based on your needs. POWER7, POWER6, and POWER5 hardware, POWER Hypervisor, and Virtual I/O Server are the key virtualization technologies.
