Hardware Virtualization

Hardware Virtualization

1. working

   • Hardware virtualization installs a hypervisor or virtual machine manager (VMM), which creates an abstraction layer between the software and the underlying hardware. Once a hypervisor is in place, software relies on virtual representations of the computing components, such as virtual processors rather than physical processors.

2. Defination

   • Hardware virtualization, which is also known as server virtualization or simply virtualization, is the abstraction of computing resources from the software that uses those resources.

3. Advantages

   • Lower cost
   • Efficient resource utilization
   • Increase IT flexibility
   • Advanced Hardware Virtualization features

4. Types

   • Full Virtualization
   • Emulation Virtualization
   • Para-Virtualization

5. Disadvantages

   • It can have a high cost of implementation
   • It creates a security risk
   • It creates an availability issue
