Virtualization
• What is Virtualization?
• Let’s understand the physical system configuration

Excel, Word 12G + 3CPU (remaining)


DNS, Apache, NTP Application Application - 4G + 1CPU = App
Database, SAP etc. 8G + 2CPU (remaining)

16G + 4CPU = Entire OS


Windows - 4G + 1CPU = OS
Linux
Operating System Operating System
