Virtual Ization

Virtualization technology uses software to simulate hardware, allowing multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single server, enhancing efficiency and scalability. A hypervisor manages these VMs, with Type 1 (bare-metal) and Type 2 (hosted) hypervisors being the two main types. Key properties of VMs include partitioning, isolation, encapsulation, and hardware independence, enabling diverse applications in server, desktop, cloud, and network virtualization.

VIRTUALIZATION

TECHNOLOGY
VIRTUALIZATION

Virtualization relies on software to simulate


hardware functionality and create a virtual
computer system. This enables IT
organizations to run more than one virtual
system – and multiple operating systems and
applications – on a single server. The resulting
benefits include economies of scale and
greater efficiency.
VIRTUAL MACHINE (VM)

A virtual computer system is known as a


“virtual machine” (VM): a tightly isolated
software container with an operating system
and application inside. Each self-contained VM
is completely independent. Putting multiple
VMs on a single computer enables several
operating systems and applications to run on
just one physical server, or “host.”
HYPERVISOR
A thin layer of software called a “hypervisor”
decouples the virtual machines from the host and
dynamically allocates computing resources to each
virtual machine as needed.
There are two types of hypervisors, according to
their place in the server virtualization structure:
Type:1 Hypervisors, also known as bare-metal or
native.
Type:2 Hypervisors, also known as hosted
hypervisors.
TYPES OF HYPERVISOR
Type 1 hypervisor (bare-metal or native hypervisor):
1. VMware ESXi
2. Microsoft Hyper-V
3. Xen Server
4. Oracle VM
Type 2 hypervisor (Hosted Hypervisor):
1. VMware Workstation Player
2. Microsoft Virtual PC
3. Oracle VM VirtualBox
4. Parallels Desktop
KEY PROPERTIES OF VIRTUAL
MACHINES
Partitioning
 Run multiple operating systems on one

physical machine.
 Divide system resources between virtual

machines.
Isolation
 Provide fault and security isolation at the

hardware level.
 Preserve performance with advanced
resource controls.
KEY PROPERTIES OF VIRTUAL
MACHINES
Encapsulation
 Save the entire state of a virtual machine to

files.
 Move and copy virtual machines as easily as

moving and copying files.


Hardware Independence
 Provision or migrate any virtual machine to

any physical server.
