VIRTUALIZATION 2LT Le, Chuong H Class 003-014 In the Information Technology world, virtualization means using software to emulate a system by separating a resource or request for a service from the underlying physical delivery of that service. In layman term, Virtualization is a technology that allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine at the same time. This research paper briefly focusses on two categories of virtualization: hardware, and storage, while identify some of the benefits. Virtualization is commonly applied to physical hardware resources by combining multiple physical resources into shared pools from which users receive virtual resources. Virtualization software such as VMWare acts as a layer between a computer's primary OS and the virtual OS; allows the virtual system the ability to access the computer's storage space, memory, CPU, NIC, and other physical assets just like the primary OS. Virtual resources can have features or functions that are unavailable in their underlying physical resources. By partitioning one physical server into several virtual machines (VM), individual VM can interact independently with other applications, devices, data, and users as though it were a separate physical resource. Essentially, machine virtualization helps maximize hardware use by aggregating more applications and services onto fewer pieces of hardware, while maintaining operating system separation. Virtualization helps IT administrators make better use of the physical resources, without compromising the original intent of keeping services isolated. Different VMs can run different operating systems and multiple applications while sharing the resources of a single physical computer. ... ... middle of paper ... ...ame physical hardware, IT administrators can consolidate hardware and instantly build production, quality assurance, and test environments. Storage virtualization enables the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage sources into what appears to be a single storage device. This significantly helps administrators perform backup, expansion, archiving, and recovery tasks more effortlessly, and in a small amount of time. Virtualization can provide various benefits, including reducing hardware cost, better energy usage, optimization of workloads, flexibility and responsive. Virtualization allows the IT administrator to efficiently access and manages resources to reduce operations and systems management costs while maintaining needed capacity. With these types of benefits, most companies find it easy to justify the cost of implementing virtualization
Application Virtualization: Application virtualization conveys an application that is facilitated on a solitary machine to a substantial number of clients. The application can be arranged in the cloud on high-review virtual machines be that as it may, in light of the fact that a substantial number of clients get to it, its expenses are some common by those clients.
Virtualization is a technology that creates an abstract version of a complete operating environment including a processor, memory, storage, network links, and a display entirely in software. Because the resulting runtime environment is completely software based, the software produces what’s called a virtual computer or a virtual machine (M.O., 2012). To simplify, virtualization is the process of running multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. The virtual machines share the resources of one physical computer, and each virtual machine is its own environment.
For that hardware virtualisation is more beneficial to handle all servers together and provide data from data centre of server to user virtual desktop.
As is suggestive of its name, an operating system (OS) is a collection of programs that operate the personal computer (PC). Its primary purpose is to support programs that actually do the work one is interested in, and to allow competing programs to share the resources of the computer. However, the OS also controls the inner workings of the computer, acting as a traffic manager which controls the flow of data through the system and initiates the starting and stopping processes, and as a means through which software can access the hardware and system software. In addition, it provides routines for device control, provides for the management, scheduling and interaction of tasks, and maintains system integrity. It also provides a facility called the user interface which issues commands to the system software. Utilities are provided for managing files and documents created by users, development of programs and software, communicating between users with other computer systems and managing user requirements for programs, storage space and priority. There are a number of different types of operating systems with varying degrees of complexity. A system such as DOS can be relatively simple and minimalistic, while others, like UNIX, can be somewhat more complicated. Some systems run only a single process at a time (DOS), while other systems run multiple processes at once (UNIX). In reality, it is not possible for a single processor to run multiple processes simultaneously. The processor of the computer runs one process for a short period of time, then is switched to the next process and so on. As the processor executes millions of instructions per second, this gives the appearance of many processes r...
Hardware, software, support and maintenance costs grow each year with multiple systems in each local region running different types of software and hardware. The application and hardware support teams are larger than could be possible with one integrated solution.
Most organizations, despite the fact that indirect costs take up more than 50% of the total cost of ownership, are still focused on direct costs and how they can reduce them. Improving end-user operations and working to reduce downtime can save the organizations more in the end than focusing on the direct costs will. Additionally, Gartner, Inc. did a research and found a well-managed computer to be 37% less expensive than an unmanaged

Virtualization technologies provide isolation of operating systems from hardware. This separation enables hardware resource sharing. With virtualization, a system pretends to be two or more of the same system [23]. Most modern operating systems contain a simplified system of virtualization. Each running process is able to act as if it is the only thing running. The CPUs and memory are virtualized. If a process tries to consume all of the CPU, a modern operating system will pre-empt it and allow others their fair share. Similarly, a running process typically has its own virtual address space that the operating system maps to physical memory to give the process the illusion that it is the only user of RAM.
The fundamental idea behind a virtual machine is to remove the hardware of a single computer and make it a self-contained operating environment that behaves as it is a separate computer. Essentially, the virtual machine is software that executes an application and isolates it from the actual operating system and hardware. CPU scheduling and virtual-memory techniques are used so that an operating system can create the illusion that a process has its own processor with its own (virtual) memory. The virtual machine provides the ability to share the same hardware yet run several different operating systems concurrently, as shown in Figure 2-11.
The approach to artificial intelligence should be proceeded with caution. Throughout recent years and even decades before, it has been a technological dream to produce artificial intelligence. From movies, pop culture, and recent technological advancements, there is an obsession with robotics and their ability to perform actions that require human intelligence. Artificial intelligence has become a real and approachable realization today, but should be approached with care and diligence. Humans can create advanced artificial intelligence but should not because of the harm they may cause, the monumental advancement needed in the technology, and that its harm outweighs its benefits.
...es running multiple OSs side-by-side on the same processing hardware. Intel has added new features such as hardware-assisted page-table management and directed I/O in the Core i7 processors and its chipsets that allow software to further improve their performance in virtualized environments. These improvements coupled with increases in memory bandwidth and processing performance allow engineers and scientists to build more capable and complex virtualized systems for test, measurement, and control.
Linux or Windows? Open Software versus Proprietary software? When most people think of the best operating system, they first think of Windows and the OSX. However, Linux and many of its open source software are becoming more predominantly emerging in the current day and age. Linux widely touted for its small user base but Cost free, High Security, flexible user control and stability. Windows for it’s largely user base and wide customer range and support. In this paper, I will be discussing and doing a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages between Windows and Linux Servers.
