A Seminar On Platform Virtualization|Technical Paper Presentation On Platform Virtualization

Abstract:

Virtualization is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was designed to run a single operating system and a single application. This leaves most machines vastly underutilized. Virtualization lets you run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, sharing the resources of that single computer across multiple environments. Different virtual machines can run different operating systems and multiple applications on the same physical computer.

We use a desktop which runs on a single operating system. We also see systems which have more than one operating system installed, but run on one via dual boot. The utilization percentage of these systems is much low when compared to the level of their capability.

By virtualization we can run simultaneously more than one operating system on the physical machine. The main idea behind this is to better utilize the available resources in an organization.
