Virtualization is used to extend my usage to next level, for
example any pc could run only a single operating system at a time, so whatever
may be its configuration, here comes the problem the physical resources is
underutilized, here the physical resources include storage, ram, processor, etc.
If its that’s not matters a lot, but when it comes to distributed system and
servers it matters much more than we think, imagine you are planning to host a
website in a host server, the host can have only a single IP (Internet
Protocol) and in that only one DNS can be attached, and the host’s memory, processor
and storage cannot be shared, which leads to increase its cost. For example,
GODADY has 10K clients, to host them if it needs 10k host machines(computer).
Can you imagine the cost for maintenance and its power consumption? OMG! Its very high. So here
comes Virtualization which allows you to run multiple operating systems with
unique IP and properties by creating multiple VM (Virtual Machines) on a single
host. These VM share the physical resources of the host. So GODADY no need 10K
hosts to host its clients, it can host them in 1K are lesser than it based on
the requirements of its client. Simply I have my PC with the configuration 1 TB
of storage and 8 GB of RAM with i5 processor, now I can run only the windows
operating system with a single IP which has minimum requirement than my configuration
so, my memory, storage and processor get underutilized to overcome this I used virtualization
concept and install Ubuntu, Thunderbird, etc., by creating virtual machines.
This can be achieved by various tools provided by the giant in this field
called VMware.
To know more about virtualization stay tuned, comment and
share If it is helpful…..
