LPAR


Abbreviation for “logical partition.” A system of subdividing, or partitioning, a computer's total resources—processors, memory and storage—into smaller units that can run with their own, distinct copy of the operating system and applications. Logical partitioning is typically used to allow the use of different operating systems and applications on a single device. The partitions may or may not be configured to communicate with each other or share some resources of the server, such as network interfaces.
