    摘要: A process of providing access to data associated with a virtual machine running on a host computer system to an offload server is implemented to improve the performance of the host computer system. Once the offload computer system knows how and where to access the data associated with that of the virtual machine, operations can be offloaded from the host computer system and performed by the offload server. Backup operations can be offloaded onto the server. The server can run backup software and directly access the data associated with the virtual machine, thereby freeing the hardware resources of the host computer to handle normal applications running on the virtual machine.
