Read about the key features in VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V and understand the feature deltas that may exist.
Hypervisors can also be categorized into one of two primary categories: Type I Type I hypervisors are installed directly on to the hardware, similar to how a regular operating system may be installed on a single server. There is very low overhead associated with this technique and performance is greater. VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer are all examples of Type I hypervisors. Type II Type II hypervisors are installed onto an existing operating system environment. There is higher overhead, as the entire operating environment resources are managed by the operating system, which may result in lower performance. VMware Workstation, Microsoft Virtual PC, and Oracle VirtualBox are examples of Type II hypervisors.
Summary
Virtualization - Beginner's Guide Virtualization overall, irrespective of the type, helps improve scalability and resource utilization. In most cases, the main benefit to IT professionals is the ease of management, as virtualization helps to centralize administrative tasks, whether they involve day-to-day updates or large scale deployments and migrations. But there's a lot more to virtualization than what we've covered here. This guide was meant to help you get your head wrapped around the concept of virtualization, the main types of virtualization and their benefits. What we didn't cover are the disadvantages, challenges and complexities of virtualization, but we'll save that for another article.
