Server Virtualization

What Is Server Virtualization?

Virtualization refers to creating virtual versions of a server or computer system. Instead of using the physical server or computer, users can access them remotely using software. Moreover, virtualization may also involve splitting a physical server into multiple unique and isolated virtual servers.

In doing so, each virtual server can host and run its own operating system while running on a single machine.

The goal of virtualization is to centralize administrative tasks, increase workload capacity and scalability, and reduce hardware costs.

Types of Server Virtualization

As your server virtualization support company, we’ll recommend one of three types of server virtualization. The recommendation will be based on your needs, budget, and preferences. The types of server virtualization include:

Full Virtualization

This method involves using a hypervisor, a type of software that can directly communicate with the CPU and physical server’s disk space. The hypervisor plays roles such as:

• Monitoring the physical server’s resources
• Ensuring each virtual server remains independent and unaware of other virtual servers
• Relaying resources from the physical server to the respective virtual server

As you can imagine, a hypervisor also comes with its processing needs, resulting in the key limitation of full virtualization. This is because it can impact server performance and slow down applications.

Para-Virtualization

With para-virtualization, the hypervisor does require as much processing power to manage your operating systems. To enable this, the entire system works together as one cohesive unit. Therefore, each operating system is aware of other para-virtualizations.

OS-Level Virtualization

Unlike the other types of virtualizations, this one does not use a hypervisor. Instead, all the hypervisor tasks are performed by the virtualization capability. This is a part of the physical server's operating system. One thing that you should note with OS-Level virtualization is that all the virtual servers will run the same operating systems.
