Virtualization Technology

This document discusses virtualization technology and its role in cloud computing. It defines virtualization as the creation of virtual versions of hardware resources like servers, storage, and networks. There are four main types of virtualization: hardware, operating system, server, and storage virtualization. Virtualization allows multiple operating systems and applications to run on a single physical machine and share resources. In cloud computing, virtualization plays an important role by allowing cloud providers to offer standardized application versions to users and easily update them.

Virtualization in Cloud Computing

• Virtualization is the "creation of a virtual (rather than actual)


version of something, such as a server, a desktop, a storage
device, an operating system or network resources".
• In other words, Virtualization is a technique, which allows to share
a single physical instance of a resource or an application among
multiple customers and organizations. It does by assigning a logical
name to a physical storage and providing a pointer to that physical
resource when demanded.
What is the concept behind the
Virtualization?

• Creation of a virtual machine over existing operating system and


hardware is known as Hardware Virtualization. A Virtual machine
provides an environment that is logically separated from the
underlying hardware.
• The machine on which the virtual machine is going to create is
known as Host Machine and that virtual machine is referred as a
Guest Machine.
Types of Virtualization

1. Hardware Virtualization.
2. Operating system Virtualization.
3. Server Virtualization.
4. Storage Virtualization.
1) Hardware Virtualization

• When the virtual machine software or virtual machine manager


(VMM) is directly installed on the hardware system is known as
hardware virtualization.
• The main job of hypervisor is to control and monitoring the
processor, memory and other hardware resources.
• After virtualization of hardware system we can install different
operating system on it and run different applications on those OS.
• Usage:
• Hardware virtualization is mainly done for the server platforms,
because controlling virtual machines is much easier than
controlling a physical server.
2) Operating System Virtualization

• When the virtual machine software or virtual machine manager


(VMM) is installed on the Host operating system instead of directly
on the hardware system is known as operating system
virtualization.
• Usage:
• Operating System Virtualization is mainly used for testing the
applications on different platforms of OS.
3) Server Virtualization

• When the virtual machine software or virtual machine manager


(VMM) is directly installed on the Server system is known as server
virtualization.
• Usage:
• Server virtualization is done because a single physical server can
be divided into multiple servers on the demand basis and for
balancing the load.
4) Storage Virtualization

• Storage virtualization is the process of grouping the physical


storage from multiple network storage devices so that it looks like
a single storage device.
• Storage virtualization is also implemented by using software
applications.
• Usage:
• Storage virtualization is mainly done for back-up and recovery
purposes.
How does virtualization work in cloud
computing?

• Virtualization plays a very important role in the cloud computing


technology, normally in the cloud computing, users share the data
present in the clouds like application etc., but actually with the
help of virtualization users shares the Infrastructure.
• The main usage of Virtualization Technology is to provide the
applications with the standard versions to their cloud users,
suppose if the next version of that application is released, then
cloud provider has to provide the latest version to their cloud
users and practically it is possible because it is more expensive.
How does virtualization work in cloud
computing?

• To overcome this problem we


use basically virtualization
technology, By using
virtualization, all severs and the
software application which are
required by other cloud
providers are maintained by the
third party people, and the
cloud providers has to pay the
money on monthly or annual
basis.
Conclusion

• Mainly Virtualization means, running multiple operating systems on


a single machine but sharing all the hardware resources. And it
helps us to provide the pool of IT resources so that we can share
these IT resources in order get benefits in the business.
