IT Resource
• IT resources such as hardware, operating

system software, networks devices, web
servers, and other related applications and
components.
IT Resource Management
• The process of using an IT resources in the
most efficient way possible.
• All about the management of IT resources.

Virtualization
• Virtualization is the idea of partitioning or
dividing the resources of a single server into
multiple segregated VMs.
• Virtualization technology has been proposed
and developed over a relatively long period.
The earliest use of VMs was by IBM in 1960,
intended to leverage investments in expensive
mainframe computers.
Virtualization
• Virtualization is the process of running of
multiple operating system in a single
computer concurrently by simulating the
hardware they run on a sharing resources
• Virtualization is the small component of cloud
When would we use virtualization
• Running different
operating system in one
computer
• To make best use of
computer hardware
• Maintaining capability
with older system
Type of virtualization
1. Full Virtualization
– Full virtualization is a technique in which a
complete installation of one machine is run on
another.
– The result is a system in which all software
running on the server is within a virtual machine.
Type of virtualization Cont..
In a fully virtualized deployment, the software

running on the server is displayed on the clients.
• Virtualization is relevant to cloud computing
because it is one of the ways in which you will
access services on the cloud.
• That is, the remote datacenter may be

delivering your services in a fully virtualized
format.
Full virtualization has been successful for several
purposes:
• Sharing a computer system among multiple

users
• Isolating users from each other and from the
control program
Partial virtualization
• Partial virtualization allows multiple operating
systems to run on a single hardware device at
the same time by more efficiently using system
resources, like processors and memory.
• Partial virtualization typically runs better than

the full virtualization model.
Partial virtualization
• In Partial virtualization deployment, many

different operating systems can run
simultaneously.
Why Virtualization?
• Virtualization can help companies maximize
the value of IT investments, decreasing the
server hardware, energy consumption, and
cost and complexity of managing IT systems
while increasing the flexibility of the overall
environment.
Why Virtualization?
Cost
• Depending on your solution, you can have a
cost-free datacenter. You do have to shell out
the money for the physical server itself, but
there are options for free virtualization
software and free operating systems.
Advantage
• But there are also reduced costs across your
organization. If you reduce the number of
physical servers you use, then you save money
on hardware, cooling, and electricity.

Virtualization tools
• The virtualization tools or hypervisor (also
called a virtual machine monitor) is the low-
level program that allows multiple operating
systems to run concurrently on a single host
computer.
• hypervisor has two type:
1. native or bare-metal hypervisors
2. hosted hypervisors
• native or bare-metal hypervisors:
These hypervisors run directly on the host's
hardware to control the hardware and to
manage guest operating systems. For this
reason, they are sometimes called bare metal
hypervisors. A guest operating system runs as
a process on the host.
Example: Xen Server, VMware ESX/ESXi and
Microsoft Hyper-V 2008/2012.
• native or bare-metal hypervisors:
• hosted hypervisors:
These hypervisors run on a conventional operating
system just as other computer programs do. Type-2
hypervisors abstract guest operating systems from
the host operating system.
For example:
VMware Workstation, VMware Player and Virtual Box
• hosted hypervisors:
Virtual box
• Virtual Box is a free, open
source, cross-platform
application for creating,
managing and running
virtual machines (VMs) –
computers whose hardware
components are emulated
by the host computer, the
computer that runs the
program. Virtual Box can
run on Windows, Mac OS X,
Linux and Solaris.
Virtual Box Cont..
• Virtual Box is also-called "hosted" hypervisor
(sometimes referred to as a "type 2"
hypervisor). Whereas a "bare-metal" or "type
1" hypervisor would run directly on the
hardware, Virtual Box requires an existing
operating system to be installed. It can thus
run alongside existing applications on that
host.
Virtual Machines
• A VM is a software implementation of a
machine (i.e., a computer) that executes
programs like a physical machine.
• A system VM provides a complete system
platform that supports the execution of a
complete operating system (OS).
Virtual Machines cont..
• Using virtual machines can be extremely
useful for a number of reasons. For example,
you may want to run a virtual machine to try
out software that you think might be unsafe,
or you might want to try out another
operating system without changing the way
your computer is already set up.
• You might also want to use it for security
purposes; for example, you might want to
create a virtual machine just for online
banking so that you can be sure there are no
spyware or Trojans getting at your precious
data.
• Multiple VMs can run simultaneously in the
same physical node.
• Each VM can have a different OS,
Home work
The home work for this topic is:
Each of you must install the virtual box on your
computer and run one type of operating
system inside your virtual box.
