UNIT 1
Types of Virtualization : Hardware Virtualization : Involves creating a virtual representation of physical hardware, allowing multiple operating systems (OS) to run concurrently on a single physical machine. Examples include hypervisors like VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM. Software Virtualization : Involves creating virtual instances of software environments or applications. Examples include virtualized servers, containers (e.g., Docker), and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). Storage Virtualization : Abstracts physical storage resources into logical storage pools, which can be dynamically allocated to applications and users as needed. Examples include Storage Area Networks (SANs) and Network-Attached Storage (NAS). Network Virtualization : Enables the creation of virtual networks within physical network infrastructure, allowing for segmentation, isolation, and efficient resource utilization. Examples include virtual LANs (VLANs) and software-defined networking (SDN) techno...
