Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was originally designed to run only a single originally designed to run only a single operating system and a single application, but operating system and a single application, but virtualization breaks that bond, making it virtualization breaks that bond, making it possible to run multiple operating systems and possible to run multiple operating systems and multiple applications on the same computer at multiple applications on the same computer at the same time, increasing the utilization and the same time, increasing the utilization and flexibility of hardware.flexibility of hardware.

How Virtualization works?How Virtualization works?

Virtualization lets you transform Virtualization lets you transform hardware into software. Use software hardware into software. Use software such as VMware to transform or such as VMware to transform or “virtualize” the hardware resources of “virtualize” the hardware resources of an x86-based computer—including the an x86-based computer—including the CPU, RAM, hard disk and network CPU, RAM, hard disk and network controller—to create a fully functional controller—to create a fully functional virtual machine that can run its own virtual machine that can run its own operating system and applications just operating system and applications just like a “real” computer. like a “real” computer.

What is a Virtual What is a Virtual Machine? Machine?

A virtual machine is a tightly isolated A virtual machine is a tightly isolated software container that can run its software container that can run its own operating systems and own operating systems and applications as if it were a physical applications as if it were a physical computer. A virtual machine behaves computer. A virtual machine behaves exactly like a physical computer and exactly like a physical computer and contains it own virtual (ie, software-contains it own virtual (ie, software-based) CPU, RAM hard disk and based) CPU, RAM hard disk and network interface card (NIC).network interface card (NIC).

Benefits Virtualization (2)Benefits Virtualization (2)

Compatibility: Virtual machines are compatible with all standard x86 computers

Isolation: Virtual machines are isolated from each other as if physically separated

Encapsulation: Virtual machines encapsulate a complete computing environment

Hardware independence: Virtual machines run independently of underlying hardware
