Hypervisors can be designed to be tightly coupled with operat-
ing systems or can be agnostic to operating systems. The latter
approach provides customers with the capability to implement
an OS-neutral management paradigm, thereby providing
further rationalization of the data center.
Application-level partitioning is another approach, whereby
many applications share a single operating system, but this
offers less isolation (and higher risk) than hardware or software
partitioning, and limited support for legacy applications or
heterogeneous environments. However, various partitioning
techniques can be combined, albeit with increased complexity.
Hence, virtualization is a broad IT initiative, of which partitioning
is just one facet. Other benefits include the isolation of virtual
machines and the hardware-independence that results from
the virtualization process. Virtual machines are highly portable,
and can be moved or copied to any industry-standard (x86-
based) hardware platform, regardless of the make or model.
Thus, virtualization facilitates adaptive IT resource management,
and greater responsiveness to changing business conditions
(see Figures 3-5).
To provide advantages beyond partitioning, several system
resources must be virtualized and managed, including CPUs,
main memory, and I/O, in addition to having an inter-partition
resource management capability. While partitioning is a useful
capability for IT organizations, true virtual infrastructure delivers
business value well beyond that.

the most significant benefits result from adopting a total cost-

recurring support and management costs, in addition to one-

Unique to VMware is the VMotion technology, whereby live,
running virtual machines can be moved from one physical
system to another while maintaining continuous service avail-

     An operating system running in a virtual machine environment          In high-level language virtual machines, the virtualization layer
     that would otherwise run directly on a separate physical system.      sits as an application program on top of an operating system.
                                                                           The layer exports an abstraction of the virtual machine that can

     With full virtualization, the virtual machine monitor exports a
                                                                           For more information:
     virtual machine abstraction identical to a physical machine, so
     that standard operating systems (e.g., Windows 2000, Windows          http://www.vmware.com
     Server 2003, Linux, etc.) can run just as they would on physical      http://www.vmware.com/solutions/
     hardware.
                                                                           http://www.vmware.com/vinfrastructure/
     Hypervisor
     A thin layer of software that generally provides virtual partition-
     ing capabilities which runs directly on hardware, but under-
     neath higher-level virtualization services. Sometimes referred to
     as a “bare metal” approach.

     Hosted Virtualization
     A virtualization approach where partitioning and virtualization
     services run on top of a standard operating system (the host).
     In this approach, the virtualization software relies on the host
     operating system to provide the services to talk directly to the
     underlying hardware.

     Para-virtualization
     A virtualization approach that exports a modified hardware
     abstraction which requires operating systems to be explicitly
     modified and ported to run.

     Virtualization Hardware Support
     Industry standard servers will provide improved hardware
     support for virtualization. Initial hardware support includes
     processor extensions to address CPU and some memory
     virtualization. Future support will include I/O virtualization, and
     eventually more complex memory virtualization management.

     Hardware-level virtualization
     Here the virtualization layer sits right on top of the hardware
     exporting the virtual machine abstraction. Because the virtual
     machine looks like the hardware, all the software written for it
     will run in the virtual machine.

VMWARE WHITE PAPER Virtualization Overview Introduction Virtualization in a Nutshell Among the leading business challenges confronting CIOs and Simply put, virtualization is an idea whose time has come. IT managers today are: cost-effective utilization of IT infrastruc- The term virtualization broadly describes the separation of a ture; responsiveness in supporting new business initiatives; resource or request for a service from the underlying physical and flexibility in adapting to organizational changes. Driving delivery of that service. With virtual memory, for example, an additional sense of urgency is the continued climate of IT computer software gains access to more memory than is budget constraints and more stringent regulatory requirements. physically installed, via the background swapping of data to Virtualization is a fundamental technological innovation that disk storage. Similarly, virtualization techniques can be applied allows skilled IT managers to deploy creative solutions to such to other IT infrastructure layers - including networks, storage, business challenges. laptop or server hardware, operating systems and applications. This blend of virtualization technologies - or virtual infrastruc- ture - provides a layer of abstraction between computing, storage and networking hardware, and the applications running on it (see Figure 1). The deployment of virtual infrastructure is non-disruptive, since the user experiences are largely unchanged. However, virtual infrastructure gives administrators the advantage of managing pooled resources across the enter- prise, allowing IT managers to be more responsive to dynamic organizational needs and to better leverage infrastructure investments. ����������� ����������� ����������� ���������������� ���������������� ���������������� ��������������������������� ���������������� ���������������� ��� ������ ��� ���� ��� ������ ��� ���� Before Virtualization: After Virtualization: • Single OS image per machine • Hardware-independence of operating • Software and hardware tightly coupled system and applications • Running multiple applications on same machine • Virtual machines can be provisioned to any often creates conflict system • Underutilized resources • Can manage OS and application as a single unit by encapsulating them into virtual • Inflexible and costly infrastructure machines Figure 1: Virtualization 3

For Unix/RISC and industry-standard x86 systems, the two • Enterprise Desktop – Securing unmanaged PCs, work- approaches typically used with software-based partitioning are stations and laptops without compromising end user hosted and hypervisor architectures (See Figure 2). A hosted autonomy by layering a security policy in software around approach provides partitioning services on top of a standard desktop virtual machines. operating system and supports the broadest range of hardware configurations. In contrast, a hypervisor architecture is the first layer of software installed on a clean x86-based system (hence it is often referred to as a “bare metal” approach). Since it has direct access to the hardware resources, a hypervisor is more efficient than hosted architectures, enabling greater scalability, robustness and performance. ����������� ����������� ���������� ��� ��� ��� ��� ���������������������� �������� ���������� ���������� ���������� ���������� ������� ������ ������ ������ ������ ������� �������������������� ��������������������� ��������������������������� ���������������� ���������������� ��� ������ ��� ���� ��� ������ ��� ���� Hosted Architecture Bare-Metal (Hypervisor) Architecture • Installs and runs as an application • Lean virtualization-centric kernel • Relies on host OS for device support • Service Console for agents and helper and physical resource management applications Figure 2: Virtualization Architectures 4
  • 5. VMWARE WHITE PAPER Hypervisors can be designed to be tightly coupled with operat- ing systems or can be agnostic to operating systems. The latter approach provides customers with the capability to implement an OS-neutral management paradigm, thereby providing further rationalization of the data center. Application-level partitioning is another approach, whereby many applications share a single operating system, but this offers less isolation (and higher risk) than hardware or software partitioning, and limited support for legacy applications or heterogeneous environments. However, various partitioning techniques can be combined, albeit with increased complexity. Hence, virtualization is a broad IT initiative, of which partitioning is just one facet. Other benefits include the isolation of virtual machines and the hardware-independence that results from the virtualization process. Virtual machines are highly portable, and can be moved or copied to any industry-standard (x86- based) hardware platform, regardless of the make or model. Thus, virtualization facilitates adaptive IT resource management, and greater responsiveness to changing business conditions (see Figures 3-5). To provide advantages beyond partitioning, several system resources must be virtualized and managed, including CPUs, main memory, and I/O, in addition to having an inter-partition resource management capability. While partitioning is a useful capability for IT organizations, true virtual infrastructure delivers business value well beyond that. ����������� ����������� ����������� ���������������� ���������������� ���������������� ���������������� ���������������� ���������������� ������� ������� ������� ������� ������� ������� ������� Figure 3: Traditional Infrastructure 5

In this approach, the virtualization software relies on the host operating system to provide the services to talk directly to the underlying hardware. Para-virtualization A virtualization approach that exports a modified hardware abstraction which requires operating systems to be explicitly modified and ported to run. Virtualization Hardware Support Industry standard servers will provide improved hardware support for virtualization. Initial hardware support includes processor extensions to address CPU and some memory virtualization. Future support will include I/O virtualization, and eventually more complex memory virtualization management. Hardware-level virtualization Here the virtualization layer sits right on top of the hardware exporting the virtual machine abstraction. Because the virtual machine looks like the hardware, all the software written for it will run in the virtual machine. 10
