    Each student has to make a computer project.
    University needs a research lab to test the projects.
    According to survey they need 1000 servers.
    Budget - $ 200,000
    1 server cost - $2000

    IIS. PHP.
    What is Virtualization ?
    Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than
    actual) version of something, such as an operating
    system, a server, a storage device or network resources.

    Virtualization is way to run multiple operating


    systems and user applications on the same
    hardware simultaneously.

    E.g., run both Windows and Linux on the same


    physical device
    How Does Virtualization Work?

    Hypervisor
    HyperVisor
    Hypervisor (or VMM – Virtual Machine Monitor) is a
    software layer that allows several virtual machines to
    run on a physical machine
    The physical OS and hardware are called the Host
    The virtual machine OS and applications are called the
    Guest

    Types of Virtualization
    Hardware Virtualization
    This is the most common and is used in IT departments in a company as well
    as in the data centers.  The server’s hardware is virtualized thus allowing us to
    be able to run different OS and different applications simultaneously on the
    same hardware.  This allows us to do server consolidation.  And the benefits
    are :

    a) Less number of servers required for the same number of applications.


    b) Less power consumption.
    c) Less maintenance overhead for the IT staff.
    d) More resource utilization.
    e) Easier (and faster) to add more capacity.
    f)  Patch management and upgrades become easier.
    g) DRP (Disaster Recovery Planning) becomes easier.  Without any interruption
    to the service, one can backup and even migrate entire virtual environments.
    Types of hardware virtualization
    Full virtualization uses a special kind of software
    called a hypervisor. The hypervisor interacts directly
    with the physical server's CPU and disk space. It serves
    as a platform for the virtual servers' 
    operating systems. The hypervisor keeps each virtual
    server completely independent and unaware of the
    other virtual servers running on the physical machine.
    Each guest server runs on its own OS -- you can even
    have one guest running on Linux and another on
    Windows.
    Para-Virtualization
    The para-virtualization approach is a little different than the full
    virtualization technique, the guest servers in a para-virtualization system
    are aware of one another. A para-virtualization hypervisor doesn't need as
    much processing power to manage the guest operating systems, because
    each OS is already aware of the demands the other operating systems are
    placing on the physical server. The entire system works together as a
    cohesive unit.
    Desktop Virtualization
    End user’s computer’s data – their OS, their
    applications, their downloads, their preferences etc.
    are all stored in a VM in a hosted environment which
    could be hosted either by the company’s IT in-house
    or hosted in a data center. VMs are then managed in
    one single place for all the users in a
    department/company and the computing
    environment is delivered remotely to the end users.
    Application Virtualization
    Application virtualization layers replace part of the runtime
    environment normally provided by the operating system. The
    layer intercepts all file and Registry operations of virtualized
    applications and transparently redirects them to a virtualized
    location, often a single file. The application never knows that
    it's accessing a virtual resource instead of a physical one. Since
    the application is now working with one file instead of many
    files and registry entries spread throughout the system, it
    becomes easy to run the application on a different computer
    and previously incompatible applications can be run side-by-
    side.
    Storage Virtualization
    Storage virtualization is a concept and term used within
    computer science. Specifically, storage systems may use
    virtualization concepts as a tool to enable better functionality
    and more advanced features within the storage system.
    Why Use Server
    Virtualization
    CONSOLIDATION
    It's common practice to dedicate each server to a single application. If
    several applications only use a small amount of processing power, the
    network administrator can combine several machines into one
    server running multiple virtual environments. For companies that have
    hundreds or thousands of servers, the need for physical space can
    decrease significantly.

    This saves on:

    Cost : 10000$ per maintenance cost per machine


    Space: Less servers, less space needed
    Energy: Savings by upto 80%
    Environment: Reduced CO2 emissions due to decrease in number of
    servers
    REDUNDANCY

    Server virtualization provides a way for companies to


    practice redundancy without purchasing additional hardware.
    Redundancy refers to running the same application on multiple
    servers. It's a safety measure -- if a server fails for any reason,
    another server running the same application can take its place.

    This minimizes any interruption in service. It wouldn't make sense


    to build two virtual servers performing the same application on
    the same physical server. If the physical server were to crash, both
    virtual servers would also fail. In most cases, network
    administrators will create redundant virtual servers on different
    physical machines.
    SEGREGATION

    Virtual servers offer programmers isolated, independent


    systems in which they can test new applications or operating
    systems. Rather than buying a dedicated physical machine, the
    network administrator can create a virtual server on an
    existing machine. Because each virtual server is independent
    in relation to all the other servers, programmers can run
    software without worrying about affecting other applications.
    LEGACY HARDWARE

    Server hardware will eventually become obsolete, and


    switching from one system to another can be difficult. In order
    to continue offering the services provided by these outdated
    systems -- sometimes called legacy systems -- a network
    administrator could create a virtual version of the hardware on
    modern servers. From an application perspective, nothing has
    changed. The programs perform as if they were still running on
    the old hardware. This can give the company time to transition
    to new processes without worrying about hardware failures,
    particularly if the company that produced the legacy hardware
    no longer exists and can't fix broken equipment.
    MIGRATION

    An emerging trend in server virtualization is called migration.


    Migration refers to moving a server environment from one place to
    another. With the right hardware and software, it's possible to move a
    virtual server from one physical machine in a network to another.
    Originally, this was possible only if both physical machines ran on the
    same hardware, operating system and processor. It's possible now to
    migrate virtual servers from one physical machine to another even if
    both machines have different processors, but only if the processors
    come from the same manufacturer.
    Limitations
    Limitations of Virtualization
    •For servers dedicated to applications with high demands on processing power,
    virtualization isn't a good choice.

    •It's also unwise to overload a server's CPU by creating too many virtual servers
    on one physical machine. The more virtual machines a physical server must
    support, the less processing power each server can receive.

    •Another limitation is migration. Right now, it's only possible to migrate a virtual
    server from one physical machine to another if both physical machines use the
    same manufacturer's processor
