Virtualization Is The New Piece Of Software

Networking provides connectivity for users to virtual machines. Connects virtual machines to one another and to external networks (the Internet).

[P3] Server virtualisation: This is the process of hiding all of the server resources including the amount of servers that a company has and the amount of processors etc. From the people using the server.

By using virtual servers, our company is able to run everything on our physical servers. This includes our ERP, file and print, login server, applications, and mail. Our company will obtain a total of 10 Windows

It allows network administrators to create a virtual server environment by using some of the server’s resources. By doing this, it creates virtual/private servers and one of the benefits of this is that it would cost less money to use virtual servers rather than physical servers as hardware maintenance would not be required. Also, if one virtual server goes down, the others will still be left running. In the example above, there are 4 physical servers. Server Virtualization only needs one physical server to be able to create the virtual servers.

Virtualization’s rate of adoption is completely characterized by the five characteristics described in the framework for the concepts of innovation (Luftman & Bullen, 2004, p. 189). It is perceived to be better than physical servers in its ability to host multiple operating systems and share the host’s resource. Its encapsulation of resources allows it to operate as if it was a physical machine yet it is totally virtual giving it a relative advantage. It is compatible with all baseline operating systems on the market. Complexity in implementation is minimal making it more attractive to adopt. The vendors allows for free downloads and trials. Its visibility in competition with Microsoft’s Hyper-V has shown multiple advantages. (Luftman & Bullen, 2004, p. 190)

Network Based Virtualization is abstract storage of data applications from the host machine. This is well achieved through fibre channels connection between the machines and the servers running virtualization. The respective operating systems on the separate machines are not a factor to consider as they work independently. For it to achieve its expectations, the following services must be provided as below:

Significance: This topic is important to my audience because of the increasing number of people accessing the internet. Implementing virtualization

Virtualization is being able to give a physical device the power, through the use of software, to do more than that physical device was technically designed and able to do (Santana, 2014, p. 12). For example, a server can only run one operating system at a time. However, when a hypervisor is used in a server, the hypervisor is a layer of software that acts like the server itself so that many operating systems can be run from that one server. The hardware, in this case a server, has been virtualized. The goal is to use all of the computer’s resources all of the time, and the only way to do that is to have enough things running that the resources are being used consistently and efficiently. An analogy for this could be online classes. If each teacher only had one student, the teacher’s resources of time and expertise would not be utilized efficiently because that one student will not need help all day, every day. If the teacher is assigned to fifteen students, the students can still get help when needed from the teacher, and they would not even be aware that they are not alone in the class. Because it is an online class, the teacher does not need any more physical resources to teach an entire class than was needed for one student. The students are receiving the benefits of being taught by that teacher without needing to be with him or her physically.

Virtualization in a network is the most interesting thing I have learned about. In full virtualization, the virtual machine completely simulates a real physical host. This allows most operating systems and applications to run within the virtual machine without being modified in anyway. I would envision using virtualization when testing a new service or application in the development stages, testing the product on different operating systems. I think virtualization is brilliant, a problem that arises is security and how you go about protecting your data in the virtual machine. Placing a virtual firewall is a good way to protect your machine of routing the memory through physical machines that have a firewall to protect them. A benefit of cloud

Hypervisor is the virtualization layer which is responsible for the virtualization. a virtualization platform that allows multiple virtual machines to run on a physical host at the same time

This virtualization service will reduce cost and the company will have reduction in server related capital investment by 70% and a reduction in operational cost by 30% to 40% compared to the physical server.( Accenture_Client_Success_Telstra_Virtualization)

Large corporations might choose to consolidate their IT system in one virtualized (and very expensive) server farm saving on hardware, support and maintenance costs over time.

Storage virtualization is the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device that is managed from a central console. Storage virtualization is commonly used in storage area networks (SANs). Server virtualization is the masking of server resources (including the number and identity of individual physical servers, processors, and operating systems) from server users. The intention is to spare the user from having to understand and manage complicated details of server resources while increasing resource sharing and utilization and maintaining the capacity to expand later. (Search server virtualization, 2013)

A virtual machine (VM) is a working structure (OS) or application that is exhibited on programming, which copies conferred outfit. The end client has a dubious unlawful relationship on a virtual machine from they would have submitted gear.

Virtualization combines or divides the computing resources of a server based environment to provide different operating environments using different methodologies and techniques like hardware and software partitioning or aggregation, partial or complete machine simulation, emulation and time sharing (Uddin and Rahman, 2011:69) meaning less hardware will be required to run a number of applications.
