Abstract
A swap space is provided for a host computer system, where the swap space includes a plurality of swap files with each individual swap file for swapping data only for a single corresponding virtual machine (VM). The per-VM swap space is used solely by the single, corresponding VM, such that only that particular VM's memory is allowed to be swapped out to the swap file.
