Virtualization creates a virtual layer using the hypervisor software, which manages
resources assigned to the virtual instances. The newly formed virtual representation is
known as virtual machines (VMs)
Role of Hypervisor
■ Hypervisor is a software that manages VMs
■ It acts as an interface between VM and physical hardware to ensure proper
access to the resources needed for working
Types of virtualization
❖ Desktop Virtualization
❖ Network Virtualization
❖ Storage Virtualization
❖ Application Virtualization
❖ Hardware Virtualization
❖ Server Virtualization
Benefits of Virtualization
● Resource efficiency, using virtualization the maximum computing capacity can be
utilized
● Minimum downtime, application and OS crash cases can be neglected by
running multiple VMs with the same OS
● Time management, setting up whole server from scratch can be avoided by
using sufficient hardware devices for virtualization.
Hypervisor
Definition: A hypervisor, or virtual machine monitor (VMM), is a crucial component that
enables virtualization.
Types: Type 1 (bare-metal) and Type 2 (hosted) hypervisors.
Computer Systems
Hardware and operating system software that runs applications
Difference between a PC and a server
- PCs have user-friendly interface while servers focus on running programs
Types of servers:
- Tower
- Blade server
- Rack-mounted server
What is the architecture of a server?
Storage
the pooling of physical storage from multiple storage devices into what appears
to be a single storage device -- or pool of available storage capacity.
Networks
Transfer data across the data center so devices can communicate
What type of hardware is used for networking?
Future Trends
Containerization: The rise of lightweight, portable containers for applications.
Edge Virtualization: Extending virtualization to edge computing for faster processing.
Conclusion
Summary: Virtualization transforms IT infrastructure, providing efficiency, flexibility, and
cost savings.
Future Outlook: Continual advancements and integration with emerging technologies.
