Hypervisor : What it is, How it works

Advertisement

A hypervisor or Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) is a virtualization software , which provides an environment for virtual machines created.

 

Types of hypervisor

 

There are two types of hypervisors. Type 1 is running without additional software directly on the hardware. Type 2 is based on a full-fledged operating system. Type 2 hypervisor uses the device drivers of the operating system on which it runs. Type 1 hypervisor allows to use less resources, but must have drivers for all hardware itself.

The term hypervisor is used inconsistently, as it in some sources to Type 1 or Type 2 with paravirtualization is limited. IBM’s hypervisor generally use the term like type 1 and type 2. The first hypervisor provides full virtualization.?Hypervisor is often used to describe interface provided by the specific cloud computing functionality infrastructure as a service (IaaS).

Storage hypervisor

 

In addition there is the storage hypervisor, which is a management software for virtual storage infrastructures.

 

Etymology

 

“Hyper” is from the Greek meaning “over”. Visor” can be derived from the Latin “videre” deduce what “look” means. Translated Analogously, it is therefore a system that as “overseers” something or other systems “overlooking” or “somewhat controlled” – a feature that in another context, namely as monitoring is called, but has a different objective.
