Method for activating virtual machine, apparatus for simulating computing device and supervising device

Simulation apparatus for simulating a computing device, comprising:

• an operating system having an security sub-system;
• a first network interface configured to:
• activate first during activation of the simulation apparatus, wherein the other components communicate outside of the simulation apparatus;
• and
• a supervision module located externally from the simulation apparatus to supervise activation of the components of the simulation apparatus based on a physical interface identifier during the activation of the other components of the apparatus,
• wherein the simulation apparatus is an environment having plurality of separately operating systems that run in parallel.

An article of manufacture tangibly embodying non-transitory computer readable instructions which, when implemented, cause a computer to carry out the steps of a method comprising:

• activating a first network interface of the virtual machine;
• activating other components of the virtual machine, wherein the other components comprise a virtual hardware, an operating system, a middleware, and an application program:
• configuring the first network interface of the virtual machine to communicate with a supervising device located outside of the virtual machine, the supervising device configuring the first network interface based on a physical interface identifier;
• and
• externally supervising activation machine of the other components of the virtual machine using the supervising device,
• wherein the virtual machine is an environment having a plurality of separate operating systems that run in parallel;
• and
• wherein at least one of the steps is carried out using a computer device.
