This document discusses different types of virtualization including server, network, storage, application, and desktop virtualization. It focuses on server virtualization in VMware vSphere, describing how physical servers are consolidated into fewer virtual servers through virtual machines that separate hardware from virtual operating systems, allowing multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on a single computer by sharing virtualized resources like CPU, memory, storage and network. Server virtualization provides benefits like higher server utilization, lower costs of operation, and faster return on investment.

Server Virtualization
Agenda
Virtualization Types of Virtualization Server Virtualization in detail Virtual Machine Memory Virtualization CPU/Storage/Network Virtualization HA & DRS
Virtualization What ? - Existing inessence or effect though not in actual fact. physical systems - Tangible asset. Virtual - NonTangible asset.
Types of Virtualization
Server Virtualization Network Virtualization Storage Virtualization Application Virtualization Desktop Virtualization
SERVER VIRTUALIZATION Many physical servers are consolidated into fewer virtual servers Termed P2V consolidation Many IT and business benefits are gained from this consolidation Examples: VMware ESX, MS Hyper-V, or Citrix Xen, Oracle VM
Network Virtualization Internal network virtualization provides network functionality in software. Example: VMware ESX & Microsoft Hyper-V virtual networks External network virtualization provides multiple network functions in one unit. Example: a Cisco switch with VLAN capabilities or integrated applications
Storage Virtualization V7000 series, SVC & VTL Removes the physical mapping of storage and moves storage into logical objects. These logical (or virtual) objects are much more easily managed. Many benefits are achieved from the virtualization of storage lower cost of storage, ease of data migration, and less administrative burden
Application Virtualization Virtualization of applications so that they are encapsulated and are able to run on another system without actually installing them This allows any app to run without conflicts, usually via streaming Examples: VMware ThinApp, XenApp, and MS Softgrid(V-App)
Desktop Virtualization Desktop Virtualization is also called VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) Desktop Virtualization is the consolidation of desktop computers into virtualized server systems Examples: VMware VDM / ViewCitrix / XenDesktop MS VDI, IBM VERDE
Server virtualization in Detail Server virtualization is where you use virtual machines to separate the hardware from the virtual operating systems, allowing you to run multiple operating systems on a single computer, all at the same time. Where x86 environment What ? - 4 core resources. When resources are virtualized, it can be shared Why - Servers under utilizied, COO, ROI. How using VMware vSphere, Citrix Xen, MS Hyper-v, Oracle VM
Virtual Machine Software construct of an hardware A set of virtual hardware on which a supported guest operating system and its applications run A set of discrete files
