2-Introduction To Virtualization
What is
Virtualization
• Today’s x86 computer hardware was designed to run a single operating
system and a single application, leaving most machines vastly underutilized.
• Virtualization lets you run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, with each
virtual machine sharing the resources of that one physical computer across multiple
environments.
• Different virtual machines can run different operating systems and multiple
applications on the same physical computer.
Benefits of Virtualization
Improve Effectiveness and Increased Business Agility Maximize Business
Reduce Costs Continuity

What is a
•
Hypervisor
A hypervisor is a software that allows multiple operating systems to share a single hardware host.
• Each operating system appears to have the host's processor, memory, and other resources
all to itself.
• However, the hypervisor is actually controlling the host processor and resources, allocating what
is needed to each operating system in turn and making sure that the guest operating systems
(called virtual machines) cannot disrupt each other.

What is a Virtual Machine
5
Bare-Metal or Type 1
•
Hypervisors
ESX & ESXi install right on the bare metal and therefore offers higher performance but runs on a
narrower range of hardware.
• Used for server consolidation for Data Centers.
• High performance and scalability.
• Many advanced features for resource management, high availability and security.
• Centralized administration with vCenter Server.

Type -2 Hypervisor
Hypervisor runs inside of an operating system of a physical host machine.
