Building a Virtualized Development and Testing EnvironmentsLai Yoong Seng
A virtual testing and development environment is the perfect place to test applications, operating systems and hardware before you place them into production -- whether it’s virtualized or not. Testing and development environments are frequent candidates for server virtualization deployments, especially for companies just starting out with virtualization. Testing and development environments provide a low-risk medium in which to test out virtualization and can improve resource allocation and storage. But there are several potential challenges for virtualized test and development environments, including networking, backup and recovery and high-availability concerns. In this session, we will talk about how to address these challenges with Windows Server 8 Hyper-V.

Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on the same physical hardware. It can be implemented at different levels including the instruction set architecture, hardware, operating system, library, and application levels. Each level provides varying degrees of performance, application flexibility, isolation, and implementation complexity. Common virtualization software includes hypervisors like Xen and VMware ESX which create virtual hardware for VMs. Virtualization is widely used to create virtual clusters in datacenters by interconnecting VMs running on different physical servers.
This document provides an overview of virtual machines. It defines a virtual machine as a software implementation of a machine that executes programs like physical hardware. There are two main types: system virtual machines which provide a complete OS environment, and process virtual machines which provide a platform-independent programming environment. Popular virtual machine software discussed includes VMware Workstation, Xen, VirtualBox, and Citrix. VMware Workstation allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on a single PC without restarting. Xen is an open-source virtual machine monitor that allows multiple guest operating systems to run concurrently on the same hardware. It has a three-layer architecture consisting of a virtual machine layer, hypervisor layer, and hardware/physical layer.
The virtualization can be described in a generic way as a separation of the service request from the underlying physical delivery of that service. In computer virtualization, an additional layer called hypervisor is typically added between the hardware and the operating system. The hypervisor layer is responsible for both sharing of hardware resource and the enforcement of mandatory access control rules based on the available hardware resources.
There are three types of virtualization: full virtualization, para-virtualization and operating system level (OS-level) virtualization.

Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on the same physical machine. It improves resource sharing and utilization. Traditional computers run a single operating system tailored to the hardware, while virtualization allows different guest operating systems to run independently on the same hardware. Virtualization software creates an abstraction layer at different levels - instruction set architecture, hardware, operating system, library, and application levels. Virtual machines at the operating system level have low startup costs and can easily synchronize with the environment, but all virtual machines must use the same or similar guest operating system.
The document provides an overview of new features in Citrix XenDesktop 5, including FlexCast delivery technology which allows various desktop delivery models including hosted shared, hosted VDI, hosted blade PCs, and streamed desktops. It discusses client-side and server-side components, and how FlexCast supports delivery of both desktops and applications. It highlights new capabilities in XenDesktop 5 such as simplified management with Desktop Studio and Desktop Director, and improved user experience with HDX technologies.
- Virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single physical machine by presenting each virtual operating system with a virtual hardware environment. A hypervisor manages access to the physical hardware resources and isolates the virtual machines.
- Cloud computing extends virtualization by allowing virtual servers and other resources to be dynamically provisioned on demand from large shared computing infrastructure. This improves flexibility and allows users to pay only for resources that are consumed.
- The hypervisor software manages the virtual machines and allocates physical resources to each one while isolating them from each other. Example hypervisors include VMware, Xen, and KVM. Virtualization improves hardware utilization and makes infrastructure more flexible and cost-effective.

Disaggregation of services provided by the platform will be a key of this talk. It will also be shown how third party software components can provide services to VMs in a secure and controlled way.
VMware ThinApp is an agentless application virtualization solution that allows any Windows application to be run virtually from various devices without installing it locally or making changes to the underlying operating system. It uses a single executable or MSI file to encapsulate and isolate applications. ThinApp packages can be seamlessly deployed on any existing management framework and streamed from a file server to multiple users without additional infrastructure. It ensures security by executing applications in user-mode and sandboxing any registry or file system changes made by the application.
The document discusses operating systems, defining them as software that manages computer hardware resources and enables communication between hardware and software. It describes the main components and functions of operating systems, including managing processors, memory, devices, user interfaces, and more. The key components are the shell, which handles user interactions, and the kernel, which manages communication with hardware. Examples of different types of operating systems discussed are standalone systems like Windows, MacOS, and Linux, server systems, embedded systems, and mobile operating systems.
This document discusses cloud computing, virtualization, and the Xen virtualization platform. It defines cloud computing as relying on shared computing resources over the internet rather than local servers. Virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously on one machine through virtual machines. Xen is an open source virtualization platform that allows virtual machines called "domains" to run within a single physical machine managed by a hypervisor.
