Virtualization Transforms x86 Systems
Single OS image per machine Software and hardware tightly coupled Running multiple applications on same
machine often creates conflict Underutilized, inflexible, costly
infrastructure
Without Virtualization:
Break dependencies between OS and hardware
Manage OS and application as single unit by encapsulating them into VMs
Strong fault and security isolation VM’s are hardware-independent:
they can be provisioned anywhere
With VMware Virtualization:

Key Features of Virtualization
Hardware Independence
Run a virtual machine on any server without modification
Partitioning
Run multiple virtual machines simultaneously on a single physical
server
Isolation
Each virtual machine is isolated from other virtual machines on the
same server
Encapsulation
Virtual machines encapsulate entire systems (hardware configuration, operating system, apps) in files
