What is Virtualization
lTechnology for partitioning one physical server into multiple
virtual servers.
lEach Virtual Machine
– Runs it’s own Operating system
– Runs it’s own applications
– Isolated from other VM’s.
lVirtualization is not:
– Simulation
– Emulation

What is a Virtual Machine (VM)?
l A software platform that,
like a physical computer,
runs an operating system
and applications
l A discrete set of files, the
main files being
– Configuration file
– Virtual disk file
– Log file
– Etc.

How Does Virtualization Work?
l Allows multiple
operating system
instances to run
concurrently
within virtual
machines on a
single computer
l A virtualization
layer is installed,
which uses either
a hosted or
hypervisor
architecture

• Easy to manage
l Often has short life
• Isolated from other
cycle virtual machines
l Requires personal running on the

13. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
(VDI)

14. IBM Canada
The Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
VMware’s View centrally hosts and delivers complete, isolated desktop
environments that are easily managed, always on and securely accessible
from anywhere. View helps IT overcome both manageability and accessibility
challenges while significantly reducing overall costs of enterprise desktop
management.
lVMware View
lConsolidates and centralizes complete desktop environments within the
data center
lVirtualizes, optimizes, and manages server resources to host and deliver
managed desktops that are always-on and connected
lEnables remote, secure and compliant user access to complete desktop
resources
