1.1.2 Server Virtualization The server virtualization method is a process that includes partitioning physical servers into a number of small virtual servers using virtualization software. With server virtualization, each virtual server runs many operating system instances at the same time. 1.1.2.1 Primary Advantage of Server Virtualization Reducing the number of servers Partitioning and isolation, remains the qualities of server virtualization, by permitting simple and safe server consolidation. Through uniting, the number of physical server, it can be significantly reduced. This one is bringing the advantages of decreased power consumption, floor space, and air conditioning costs. It is necessary to note that it does not change even though the number of physical servers is brought down, to …show more content…

At this point the quantity of servers can be easily increased if distinctive physical servers are used by each business division's development team. Reconfiguring development and the test environments can consume time when physical servers are shared by teams. Using server virtualization to concurrently run various operating system environments on one physical server these issues can be resolved, which enables concurrent improvement by performing analysis of multiple environments. In addition to that, when development and test environments can be encapsulated and saved, the process of reconfiguration will become simple. Virtualization of servers gives some security benefits. Running a server inside a hypervisor can restrict the effect of security breach, but server virtualization does not prevent attackers from trading off the server through vulnerabilities in the server application, the guest operating systems, or the host operating system. When different servers on the same host are virtualized, all can be affected by a single
