VMware vSphere™ 4
Overview

22
Virtualization Overview
 Virtualization
• Hypervisor abstracts traditional physical machine resources and runs
workloads as virtual machines (VMs)
• Each VM runs guest OS and applications

23
Virtualization Overview
 Hypervisor
• Partitions computing resources of a server
for multiple VMs
• Hypervisors alone lack coordination for
higher availability and efficiency
 VMware vSphere
• VMware vSphere goes beyond basic host
partitioning by aggregating infrastructure
resources into a giant virtual computer
• Serves as a dynamic OS for a private
internal cloud in your datacenter

24
Key Benefits of VMware vSphere
 Efficiency
• Highest utilization of resources
 Control
• Automated quality of service
 Choice
• Hardware independence
• Wide selection of guest OS support
