VMWare Virtualisation

VMWare Virtualisation

1. Implementation

   • Hypervisor
     • Bare Metal Hypervisor
       • ESXi
         • VCenter
           • For handling multiple hosts
           • 1000 Hosts
           • 10,000 VMs
         • Upto 2048 VMs
       • Rests directly on the hardware
     • thin layer to share underlying hardware

2. Advantages

   • Isolation
     • Exists separately from each other
   • Overcommitting Resources
     • Since all VMs will not run at full capacity
   • Shared Physical Hardware
   • Cost Effective

3. Enable creation of multiple OS on same hardware

4. Core Resources

   • Memory
   • CPU
   • Disk Storage
   • Network

5. Vsphere Architecture
