Visualization

Virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on a single computer by transforming hardware into software. It works by installing a virtualization layer, either as a bare-metal hypervisor with no underlying OS or as an application on an existing OS. This virtualization layer supports multiple virtual machines, each with their own isolated operating system and applications. Virtualization provides benefits like improved hardware utilization, reduced costs, and uninterrupted operation if the physical host fails.

What Is Virtualization ?

 Virtualization is a Technology
that transforms hardware
into software.
 Virtualization allows to run
multiple operating systems as
virtual machines.
 Each copy of an operating
system is installed in to a
virtual machine.
How Does Virtualization Work ?
 A Virtualization layer is installed.
 Uses Bare-metal or Hosted Hypervisor architecture.
 A bare-metal hypervisor system does not require
operating system.
 Hypervisor is operating system.
 Host based Virtualization requires operating
system(windows or linux) installed on the computer.
 Virtualization layer installed as application on
operating system.
 VMWare Server is free application supported by
windows or linux.
What Is A Virtual Machine ?
 Isolated guest operating
system installation within a
normal host operating
system.
 From the user perspective,
virtual machine is software
platform like physical
computer that runs
operating systems and
apps.
 Virtual machines posses
hardware virtually.
Full Virtualization
Full virtualization uses a
special kind of software
called a hypervisor. The
hypervisor interacts
directly with the physical
server's CPU and disk space.
It serves as a platform for
the virtual
servers' operating systems.
Para Virtualization

The para-
virtualization
approach is a little
different than the
full virtualization
technique, the guest
servers in a para-
virtualization
system are aware of
one another.
OS Level Virtualization
An OS-level
virtualization
approach doesn't use
a hypervisor at all.
Instead, the
virtualization
capability is part of
the host OS, which
performs all the
functions of a fully
virtualized hypervisor
Virtualization Allows Transformation
of a Server for Multiple Applications
Server virtualization
 Creating multiple logical server OS instances on one physical
piece of hardware
 Hypervisor is installed on one physical server
 Multiple instances of server OS are installed.
Server Virtualization
Server Virtualization
 The VMs created on one physical server can
be run another physical server.
 Failure in one physical server will not effect
the VMs installed on that.
 Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a desktop delivery
model which allows client desktop workloads (operating system,
application, user data) to be hosted and executed on servers in
the data center
 Users can communicate with their virtual desktops through a
client device that supports remote desktop protocols such as
RDP
 This allows you to virtualize Windows desktops in the
datacenter and deliver them on demand to any user — anywhere
Storage Virtualization is
the next frontier in Storage
Advances that aims to
provide a layer of
abstraction to reduce
complexity
Software
virtualization is the
virtualization of
applications or
computer programs
Computer hardware
virtualization is the
virtualization of computers or
operating systems.

 It hides the physical


characteristics of a computing
platform from users, instead
showing another abstract
computing platform
Conclusion
Abstraction of computer resources, include reduced
operating and capital costs, improved utilization of
computing resources and greater IT staff productivity

Supportability of Multiple Company products running as


Guest Programs on a non-certified virtualization engine.

Managing load on virtualized systems can be more art than


science.
