Virtualization

In computing, virtualization is a broad term that
refers to the abstraction of computer resources.

Platform virtualization

Resource virtualization
Platform Virtualization
Emulation or simulation
Native virtualization and full virtualization
Hardware enabled virtualization
Partial virtualization
Paravirtualization
Operating system-level virtualization
Application Virtualization
Emulation or simulation


allowing an unmodified "guest" OS for a
completely different CPU to be run.
Examples:

Bochs

PearPC

VirtualPC

QEMU(without acceleration)
Native and Full Virtualization


the virtual machine simulates enough hardware to
allow an unmodified "guest" OS (one designed
for the same CPU) to be run in isolation.
Examples:

VirtualBox

Virtual PC

Vmware

QEMU

Win4Lin

XEN/Virtual Iron
Hardware enabled virtualization

the virtual machine has its own hardware and
allows a guest OS to be run in isolation.

Intel VT (IVT)

AMD virtualization (AMD-V)

Examples:

VMware Fusion

Parallels Desktop for Mac

Parallels Workstation
Partial virtualization

the virtual machine simulates multiple instances
of much (but not all) of an underlying hardware
environment, particularly address spaces.
Paravirtualization



the virtual machine does not necessarily simulate
hardware, but instead (or in addition) offers a
special API that can only be used by modifying
the "guest" OS.
Terminologies

Hypervisor, hypercall

Enomalism
Examples:

XEN, KVM, Win4Lin 9x
Operating system-level virtualization


virtualizing a physical server at the operating
system level, enabling multiple isolated and
secure virtualized servers to run on a single
physical server.
Examples:

Parallels Workstation

Linux-VServer, Virtuozzo

OpenVZ, Solaris Containers

FreeBSD Jails

Chroot ?
Application Virtualization



typically for the purpose allowing application
binaries to be portably run on many different
computer architectures and operating systems.

ication_Virtual_Machines
Examples:

.NET CLR

JVM

Script Languages:Python,Ruby,Javascript...
Resource Virtualization
RAID
SAN
Channel bondings
VPN/NAT
Multiprocessor and multi-core
Cluster and Grid computing
Partitioning
