Virtualization

Virtualization is a software layer between Hardware and OperatingSystem.

Virtualization allows multiple Operating System (OS)instances to run concurrently on a single computer.

Hypervisor is divided into two classifications:tt

Type1 (ornative,baremetal)hypervisorsrundirectlyonthehost'shardwaretocontrolthehardwareandtomanageguestOS’s.AguestOSthusrunsonanotherlevel abovethehypervisor.

Examples: Oracle VM Server For SPARC,the Citrix XenServer,KVM,VMware ESX/ESXi,and Microsoft Hyper-V Hypervisor.

Type2:(orhosted)hypervisorsrunwithinaconventionalOSenvironment.Withthehypervisorlayerasadistinctsecondsoftwarelevel,guestOSsrunatthethirdlevelabove thehardware.

Examples: VMware Player,VMware Workstation and VirtualBox.

In other words,Type 1 hypervisor runs directly on the hardware; Type 2 hypervisor runsonanotherOS,such as FreeBSD,Linux or Windows.

In real time Baremetal installation will be done .

Virtualization technology Supports x86 platform only.
