Virtualization is becoming the new trend in today's technology world. Long gone are the days when each server had to be a physical server, now one physical server can host hundreds of virtual servers. In this talk, an introduction to virtualization is presented, along with the pros and cons, then the SCVMM system.

11. “A Hypervisor is a software layer that
sits between hardware and OSes
which interacts with hardware and
resources to provide an interface to
share the available resources with
virtual containers.”

e.g. VMware Workstation,
Microsoft Virtual PC, Sun VirtualBox

13. Types of Virtualization
• Hardware Level Virtualization [VMware Esxi].
• Operating System Virtualization [VMware Workstation].
• High Level Virtualization [Java Virtual Machine]

17. Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) is a
management solution for virtualized
environments, enabling you to configure and
manage virtualization hosts, networking, and
storage resources in order to create and
deploy virtual machines and services to your
physical servers.

18. Central Management

19. Intelligent Placement

21. Power Optimization

22. Demo

23. SCVMM at Banan IT
• Tens of terabytes of data.
• More than 6 years of
experience.
> 12 physical > 60 virtualized
