Today many have done virtualization<\/a> in terms of allocating server hardware resources.\u00a0What is virtualization?\u00a0Virtualization is a\u00a0software\u00a0-based\u00a0or virtual process, a representation of something, be it virtual applications,\u00a0servers\u00a0, storage space, and connections.\u00a0Virtualization is one of the most effective ways to reduce IT costs while increasing efficiency for any kind of business.<\/p>\n

For example, imagine you have three\u00a0physical\u00a0servers\u00a0with their respective uses.\u00a0The\u00a0first\u00a0server\u00a0is a\u00a0mail server\u00a0, the second is a\u00a0web server\u00a0, and the last is an internal application.\u00a0Each\u00a0server\u00a0already has 30% capacity.\u00a0However, since\u00a0the\u00a0application\u00a0server\u00a0is critical to operations, you must take care of its performance and\u00a0the\u00a0third\u00a0server\u00a0that hosts it.<\/p>\n

It is easy to run individual-based tasks on individual\u00a0servers\u00a0too, such as one\u00a0server\u00a0, one operating system, one task instead of one\u00a0server\u00a0running multiple tasks.\u00a0With virtualization, you can divide the\u00a0mail server\u00a0into a unique one that can hold independent tasks so that\u00a0internal application\u00a0servers\u00a0can be migrated.<\/p>\n

You can also again split\u00a0the\u00a0first\u00a0server\u00a0so that it can run new tasks, and increase its capacity from 30% to 60% to 90%.\u00a0When you do that, it’s\u00a0the server\u00a0that is empty,\u00a0the server\u00a0third, could be used for other tasks or perform retired to reduce the workload or the cost of\u00a0maintenance\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Why is Virtualization Widely Done?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"virtualization\"<\/p>\n

If you are considering why virtualization is the right decision for your organization or company, both economically and technologically, please refer to the following reviews:<\/p>\n

Save cost<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virtualization<\/a> reduces the number of\u00a0servers<\/em>\u00a0you run.\u00a0That means saving on\u00a0hardware<\/em>\u00a0costs\u00a0as well as the total amount of energy that has to run.\u00a0One server can be divided its resources into several servers that can run their own tasks.<\/p>\n

Good for the environment (\u00a0eco friendly<\/em>\u00a0)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virtualization includes\u00a0green technology\u00a0.\u00a0With virtualization, the amount of hardware needed can be reduced drastically.\u00a0The energy savings that virtualization adopts include eliminating the need to build multiple power plants.\u00a0Thus, you are involved in saving the earth’s energy sources.<\/p>\n

Reduce administrative work<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the use of virtualization, system administrators do not need to\u00a0support\u00a0multiple machines and can move from troubleshooting existing problems to more strategic tasks.\u00a0That’s why virtualization is widely used by cloud computing providers to allocate and manage their physical hardware.<\/p>\n

Utilization of your server hardware utility is maximized<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virtualization can make your\u00a0hardware\u00a0utility ratio\u00a0higher.\u00a0The reason is, each\u00a0server\u00a0supports\u00a0enough virtual machines to increase the utility, which is usually from 15% to 80%.<\/p>\n

Simplify system installation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since most\u00a0software\u00a0vendors now\u00a0tend to ship their products\u00a0preinstalled\u00a0on virtual machines, traditional installation methods and the like are becoming obsolete.<\/p>\n

Virtualization Types<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"VIRTUALIZATION<\/p>\n

At this time, the majority of virtualization in the world is on virtual server . The three main types of server virtualization are as follows:<\/p>\n

Virtual Operating System ( <\/strong>Container<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This means creating a self-contained representation of an existing operating system in order to build applications in a particular environment.\u00a0Each\u00a0container<\/em>\u00a0will reflect the version of the existing operating system as well as the\u00a0patch level<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Hardware<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0emulation<\/strong><\/p>\n

It represents the\u00a0computer\u00a0hardware<\/em>\u00a0environment\u00a0in\u00a0software<\/em>\u00a0, so that one computer can be installed multiple operating systems.<\/p>\n

Paravirtualization<\/strong><\/p>\n

A thin layer of\u00a0software<\/em>\u00a0that coordinates the access of several operating systems on the\u00a0hardware<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

How Virtualization Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A\u00a0piece\u00a0of\u00a0software\u00a0called a\u00a0hypervisor\u00a0separates the physical resources from the virtual environment.\u00a0Hypervisors\u00a0can stand on top of an operating system or can be installed directly into\u00a0hardware\u00a0, and most companies do just that.\u00a0The hypervisor\u00a0takes physical resources and shares them so that the virtual environment can use them.<\/p>\n

Resources are partitioned as needed from physical resources to multiple virtual environments.\u00a0Users interact and perform computations in a virtual environment.\u00a0This virtual machine functions as a\u00a0single data<\/em>\u00a0file\u00a0.\u00a0Like most digital files, these can be deleted from one computer to another, opened, and shared together.<\/p>\n

How to Virtualize<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After you evaluate virtualization and want to start using it, now is the time to implement virtualization. The first step is to create a virtual project using the following five steps:<\/p>\n

Evaluation of\u00a0<\/strong>the<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0current\u00a0<\/strong>server<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0workload<\/strong><\/p>\n

Determine if virtualization can help you and find out the potential virtualization has for your organization or company.<\/p>\n

Define system architecture<\/strong><\/p>\n

What form of virtualization do you want to use?\u00a0What kind of use will virtualization make?<\/p>\n

Choose\u00a0<\/strong>virtualization\u00a0<\/strong>software<\/strong>\u00a0and hosting\u00a0<\/strong>hardware<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should carefully evaluate the capabilities of\u00a0the software<\/em>\u00a0to ensure proper use for you.\u00a0Be sure to check out the newly released products.<\/p>\n

Migrate\u00a0<\/strong>your current\u00a0<\/strong>server<\/strong>\u00a0to a new virtualization environment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Choose whether some new migration product can help you move the system or you have to move it manually.\u00a0In that case, make a project plan to make sure everything is\u00a0covered<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Manage your virtualization environment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Decide if a virtualization management product is sufficient for your needs, or whether you should look for\u00a0more general system management\u00a0tools<\/em>\u00a0to monitor your environment.<\/p>\n

Popular Virtualization Tools Provider<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In fact, there are many popular providers or players in virtuali. You can choose to choose a product based on the needs of your organization or company. However, in general there are six big players in the virtual world.<\/p>\n

VMware<\/strong><\/p>\n

VMware<\/strong><\/a> is the biggest player in the virtual world. They provide virtualization products namely VMware Server and ESX Server. By using VMware to create a VMware private cloud service that has good performance and is efficient in using server resources<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Xen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although relatively new, Xen is quite popular because it also has a paravirtualization solution.\u00a0Xen is also bundled with Linux.<\/p>\n

Xen Source<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a commercial sponsor of Xen. Xen Source<\/a> provides a product that is a commercial extension of Xen that focuses on Windows virtual. Xen Source was also recently acquired by Citrix.<\/p>\n

OpenVZ<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is an\u00a0open\u00a0<\/em>source<\/em> product that provides vritual operating system. OpenVZ is available for Windows and Linux<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

SWsoft<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a commercial sponsor of OpenVZ.\u00a0SWsoft provides a commercial version of OpenVZ namely Virtuozzo.<\/p>\n

OpenSolaris<\/strong><\/p>\n

An\u00a0open\u00a0<\/em>source<\/em> version of the Solaris operating system that provides operating system virtuali and will also support Xen in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
