Abstract

A system, method and computer program for transferring a running virtual machine from a first to a second physical machine, where each of the physical machines has a different instruction set architecture. The system may comprise a receiver for receiving a transfer request. In response to receiving the transfer request, the virtual machine is paused and a state of the virtual machine is collected. A first interface component operable on the first physical machine stopped and a second interface component operable on the second physical machine is started. The state is transferred to the second interface component. The virtual machine is started on the second physical machine in response to the state transfer.
