Virtualization and various virtualization related technologies has been explained including hardware virtualization, Software virtualization.

Server Virtualization – The Real High Performers

Server Virtualization needs high demands of CPU, storage, and the entire server system usage. Let us see what can make them a real performer. We have already published about the Server Virtualization capable processors which has the features to increase performance of the virtualized servers. AMD-V in the Opteron processors and Intel VT-x in the Xeon Processors have these features. Benchmark is … [Read more...]

Server Virtualization and Intel VT-x Processor

As any regular reader will notice, we trying to make the readers understand about the relationship of Processor and Server Virtualization Technology. In the preliminary articles, another author has written about the processors, then I on Processors capable of Server Virtualization. This series will end with Cloud Computing. If any reader readers from the first post to the last of this Processor … [Read more...]

Storage Virtualization Software and High Availability Infrastructure

Storage virtualization software makes the use of standard hardware as a central axis for sharing the storage for the virtual machines and the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. in an previously published article, the basics of storage virtualization has been discussed. As it has been discussed by the other authors in this website, Virtualization for servers requires massive and powerful storage … [Read more...]

Server Virtualization – Calculating The Cost

It is true that Further Server Virtualization technology itself has reduced the cost of one time burden of buying may servers. It is true that Server Virtualization has made it possible to use a Virtual Dedicated Server acting as good as a Dedicated Server at a fraction of the cost. But, it is also true that Server Virtualization, despite these savings, has increased the cost of cooling, … [Read more...]

Virtualization Capable Processors

In the previous article, I have written the basics on microprocessor. Precisely microprocessor, as no web hosting company, who are the largest user of Virtualization right now, will use a huge Processor like a super computer, because of the huge cost, problem with space and datacenter cooling issues. So, in this article, I will practically discuss about Virtualization Capable Microprocessors, the … [Read more...]

You can simply browse through our Virtualization Category or by using the Search Function, which is present on the top of every page.   Why and who have prepared this FAQ on Virtualization ?   Although I am publishing this article on Virtualization, the questions and answers are supplied by other other contributing authors and guest … [Read more...]

32 bit (x86) Virtualization and 64 bit (x64) Virtualization

In 1974 Gerald J. Popek and Robert P. Goldberg described the conditions for computer which can efficiently support virtualization. This is known as requirements Popek and Goldberg. x86 based processors, however was no compatible with this theory. Stanford University did pioneering works on x86 Virtualization. In 1999, VMware introduced the first commercially available x86 virtualization … [Read more...]

Storage Virtualization – What it is, How it Works

Storage Virtualization is a type of virtualization where multiple devices are attached storage to network, in what appears to be a single storage unit. This is the definition of storage virtualization, but it needs some explanation in brief with examples to make a normal reader understand, how storage virtualization basically works. Storage Virtualization often used in storage networks, a … [Read more...]

Virtualization and Fabric Computing

Almost all of the advanced readers are well aware of Virtualization by now. Even if have not a big depth how Virtualization works, most users know about Virtual Private Server, Cloud Computing etc. terminologies. Fabric Computing is a bit less known. Fabric Computing can be thought as a forerunner of Cloud Computing which is based on Virtualization Technology. So, just like I have wrote in my … [Read more...]

CentOS Virtualization – Why People Uses It More

CentOS Virtualization, that means the Host Operating System is CentOS is used more over Debian Linux. CentOS is a free operating system based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A bit looking back to the history of CentOS will be interesting. In 2007, University of Maiduguri decided to look for an alternative solution to their Existing Mikrotik based Hotspot system to tackle issue of repetitive … [Read more...]
