the built-in hypervisor is the
Microsoft Virtual PC. Other
options include VMware and
Xen.

Virtual Concerns

• There have been a number of


virtualization-specific threats that
have cropped up focusing on the
hypervisor, but updates have fixed the
issues as they have become known.
• The solution to most virtual machine
threats is to always apply the most
recent updates and keep the
system(s) up-to-date.

Virtual Networking

• Virtual desktops are often used with


remote administration, allowing a
remote administrator to work on the
workstation with or without the
knowledge of the user sitting in front
of the machine.
• The resource requirements for
virtualization are largely based upon
what environments you are creating.
