This document discusses virtualization using VMware. It defines virtualization as running multiple operating systems on a single physical system by sharing hardware resources. VMware allows multiple virtual machines, each with their own virtual hardware, to run isolated from each other on the same physical machine. The document outlines key VMware features like partitioning, isolation, encapsulation, and hardware independence. It compares virtual machines, which are portable and isolated, to physical machines. VMware provides benefits like consolidation, reduced costs, increased efficiency, and security. The document provides basic instructions for installing VMware.

2. Agenda
 Virtualization
 What is VMware
 Key features
 Virtual and Physical Infrastructure
 Resource Sharing
 Comparison
 Consolidation
 Advantages
 Installing VMware

3. Virtualization
 Ability to run ‘multiple OS’ on a ‘single physical system’ and
share the underlying hardware resources

4. What is VMware
 VMware is virtual machine software
 Each virtual machine has its own set of virtual
hardware
 Allows multiple virtual machines, operating systems
to run in isolation and side-by-side on the same
physical machine.

5. Without VMware
 All require same power
 All emits same heat
 All require physical
space
 Setup , Configuration
 Maintenance, support…

6. With VMware
 Flexibility
 Operational Efficiency
 Disaster Recovery
 Optimizes the use of
Physical resources
 Easy to configure

7. Key Features
 Partitioning
 Isolation
 Encapsulation
 Hardware Independence

8. Partitioning
 Run multiple Operating
Systems on one Physical
machine
 Divide system resources
between virtual machines

9. Isolation
 Each virtual machine is isolated
from other virtual machines
on the same server

10. Encapsulation
 Virtual machines encapsulate
entire systems (hardware
configuration, operating
system, apps) in files

11. Hardware Independence
 Run a virtual machine on any
server without modification

14. Resource Sharing

x86 architecture

15. How does it works
 Allows multiple operating system instances to run
concurrently within virtual machines on a single
computer
 A virtualization layer is installed, which uses either a
hosted or hypervisor architecture

16. Comparison
 Difficult to move or copy
 Bound to a specific set of
hardware
 Often has short life cycle
 Requires personal contact
to upgrade hardware
 Difficult to manage
remotely
Virtual Machine
• Easy to manage
• Isolated from other virtual
machines running on the
same physical hardware
• Insulated from physical-
hardware changes
Physical Machine
• Easy to move and copy
• Encapsulated into files
• Independent of physical
hardware

17. Consolidation

19. Advantages
 Reduce physical number of servers
 Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
 Increases efficiency
 Beneficial to business needs
 Security to each VM
