Introduction to Virtualization Technologies

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)

What is Virtual machine?


❖ Virtual machine is an emulation or a visual presentation of a physical system
❖ They are also referred to as guest, whereas the physical system they run on is referred
to as the host

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

1. Desktop Virtualization- Instead of running desktop operating systems


and applications directly on individual computers, desktop virtualization allows
users to access virtual desktops hosted on a server. This centralizes management,
enhances security, and provides flexibility for users to access their desktop
environments from various devices.
2. Network Virtualization- Network virtualization involves creating
multiple virtual networks on top of a physical network infrastructure. This allows for
better resource utilization, isolation, and flexibility in managing network resources.
3. Storage Virtualization- This technique abstracts the physical storage
resources from the underlying hardware, creating a logical layer that allows for
more efficient management and utilization of storage capacity. It enables features
like pooling storage resources, dynamic allocation, and easier data migration.
4. Application Virtualization- Instead of installing applications directly
on individual computers, application virtualization separates the application from
the underlying operating system and encapsulates it for centralized management.
This simplifies application deployment, updates, and maintenance.
5. Hardware Virtualization- This is the foundation for other
virtualization types. It involves creating virtual machines (VMs) that mimic the
behavior of physical computers. Hypervisors or virtual machine monitors (VMMs)
manage the allocation of physical resources to these virtual machines.
6. Server Virtualization- This involves creating multiple virtual servers on
a single physical server. Each virtual server operates independently, running its
own operating system and applications. Server virtualization helps maximize the
use of physical server resources, reducing the need for multiple physical machines.

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.

Key Components of Virtualization


1. Virtual Machines (VMs)
Definition: Software-based emulation of a physical computer.
Function: Run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical
server.

2. Hypervisor Management Console


Role: Centralized control for creating, managing, and monitoring virtual
machines.

Virtual Data Center

Benefits of a Virtual Data Center


 Data centers use a lot of hardware and virtualization makes hardware more
Efficient
 Increased computing resources results in higher availability of applications
 Less labor needed to monitor data center (administrator can monitor from desk
using a program)
 Software-defined data center (SDDC): Hypervisor pools physical data center
resources into a virtual data center

What is a Data Center?


 Hardware infrastructure that supports virtualization
 Focus is on processing large amounts of data

What are the three main components?


 Computer
 Storage
 Networks

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?

Challenges and Considerations


Security Concerns: Ensure robust security measures within virtualized environments.
Performance: Monitor and optimize performance to avoid resource bottlenecks.
Training and Skills: Staff training for effective management and troubleshooting.

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.
