 Acknowledgement

I would like to express my special thanks to my lecturer, Mr. Shiv Raj

Pandey for his time and effort where he provided throughout the semester.
His advice and guidance were incredible in completing my assignment. He
was always available to help me. I also want to express my gratitude to all
of the other support staff members that helped me out by providing the
necessary equipment, without which I would not have been able to
perform efficiently on this project titled case study on virtualization.
Moreover, I would want to convey my heartfelt gratitude to friends and
family who support me in each and every steps to complete this task. I
would like to concede that this task was finished entirely by myself and
not by someone else.

Introduction
The development of technology has changed our lives in numerous ways
which was never imagined. Every people have to need knowledge of
information technology in this digital generation. There are many business
challenges which are facing today by IT managers, or different companies
such as cost effective use of IT infrastructures, improved resources
utilization. Virtualization is a key technological improvement that create a
multiple solution. It plays vital role to improve digital world. This case
study explores about virtualization, types, brainstorming, etc.

Virtualization
Virtualization is a technology that use to run different operating system on
a single computer. It can also use to create virtual representations of
servers, memory, networks, and other physical devices. It transforms
hardware into software. A computer can share its computer hardware
resources with isolated environments that are separated digitally through
the practice of virtualization. The process of virtualization allows a single
computer to appear to be hosting several computers. Virtualization process
are done in five stages.

Desktop Virtualization
Desktop virtualization is a virtualization technology that enables
centralized control and management of multi-client environment. By the
help of desktop virtualization technology, it improves IT department
readiness for the future developments. By method of desktop
virtualization, user can construct desktop environment virtually. It is a
collection of techniques like streaming, remoting, virtualizing and
layering. This technique is applied for full desktop software, application
and images. Desktop virtualization enables have overall control over
desktop by installations by centralizing them. It can reduce the cost
management. Most of the organization have marketing team which are
able to operate desktop operating system to run business smoothly.
Some advantages of desktop virtualization are as follows:
 Save money on computer hardware.
 It is efficient and secure.
 It can reduce management expenses and centralize desktop
deployments.

Network Virtualization
Network virtualization is a process of combining network means to
construct software developments. Computer hardware like switch, routers
and firewalls where used in network. Network virtualization centralize all
network resources. By dividing the available bandwidth into individual
channels that may be assigned or reassigned to a specific server or device,
network virtualization combines all resources in a network. Network
virtualization hide actual complexity of the network to make management
easier, by breaking it up into smaller, more manageable chunks. Tools for
network virtualization are physical with OS and hypervisor. Example are
VLAN, networks overlays, etc.

Server Virtualization
The act of splitting a physical server using software into several distinct
and isolated virtual servers is known as server virtualization. It is the
process of constructing virtual machines using server hardware and virtual
machine software. Every virtual server has the ability to separately run its
own OS. A process that divides a single physical server into several virtual
ones. It is a productive and economical process of deploying IT services
within an organization and utilizing server resources. Physical servers that
don't use server virtualization only utilize a small portion of their
computing power, leaving gadgets idle.
There are three server virtualization which are listed below:
 Full virtualization
 Para virtualization
 OS-level virtualization

Storage virtualization
The process of combining physical storage from several storages devices
into single storage device is known as storage virtualization. It is not
connected with a specific server. Storage area networks frequently employ
storage virtualization.
Process of storage virtualization are:
 Network-based storage virtualization
 Host-based storage virtualization
 Array-based storage virtualization

10
Brainstorming
Virtualization causes a revolution in computing by converting hardware
resources into virtual spaces that work regardless of physical limits. It
allows greater use of resources, saves money by merging servers, and
offers easy-to-change size. Whether in cloud computing with virtual
machines running huge data centers, or in desktop virtualization to
improve remote work, virtualization supports today's IT systems. Its uses
also include network and storage virtualization to enhance performance
and make management easier. Safety is very important making sure virtual
spaces keep data safe. As technology gets better new things like
containerization and edge computing widen virtualization's scope
promising more effectiveness and flexibility in future computing settings.

11
Conclusion
There are numerous ways to applied virtualization. There are different
types to different virtualization like CPU virtualization, data virtualization,
etc. Virtualization manage the overall operating system. It improves
computer hardware resources used in date center, cloud computing. It
reduces the cost, save time and efforts, etc. It increases the flexibility.
Virtualization recover disaster or cyberattacking. Without virtualization, it
will be inefficient, and inflexible.
