Compute Virtualization

Definition :

             It is a technique of masking or abstracting the physical compute hardware and enabling multiple operating systems (OSs) to run concurrently on a single or clustered physical machine(s).
  •  Enables creation of multiple virtual machines (VMs), each running an OS and application
  • VM is a logical entity that looks and behaves like physical machine
  • Virtualization layer resides between hardware and VMs, Also known as hypervisor
  • VMs are provided with standardized hardware resources
