Levels of software virtualization

• Modern computer systems are composed of various hardware and software layers
• Virtualization inserts a software layer (VMM) at different points in this architecture, comes in three variants:

hardware-level virtualization

operating system-level

Application level

Hardware Level Virtualization

• Virtualization layer sits right on top of the real hardware

• Since the VM presents a version the real machine, all software written for that hardware (x86) will run on that virtual machin
• Original design from IBM in the 1960’s

Operating System Level Virtualization

• Virtualization layer sit between the operating system and the application programs that run on the operating system

• Virtual Machine runs applications, or sets of applications written for the operating system but in a controlled environment

(Layers order shown below)

Application

Virtual Machine

VMM Applications

OS

Real Mchines

Application level virtualization

• The virtualization layer sits as an application program on top of the operating system
• Can run any programs written for that virtual machine abstraction regardless of the operating system hosting that virtual machine

VIRTUAL MACHINE

• Virtual machine is a software that creates a virtualized environment between the computer platform and its operating system, So that the end user can operate on an abstract machine


• The operating system creates the illusion of multiple processes, each executing on its own processor with its own (virtual) memory.

Just 6 steps Away to Start LINUX on your WINDOWS

Down load VMware workstation from vmware.com
Install it just like other softwares.
Open vmware from "startmenu->programs>vmware" then
Bellow images shows how to configure new virtual machine
in your machine
Just 6 steps to go

Now you are ready to configure any number of LINUX operating systems

on your windows machine

Insert OS cd (which os you want to install) then restart your virtual machine

then follow instructions .But you should to set boot from cd option in BIOS.

OK NOW YOU READY TO ENJOY VMWARE VIRTUAL MACHINE WORLD

VITRUALIZATION

Virtualization is a framework or methodology of dividing the resources of

a computer into multiple execution environments,
Done by applying one or more concepts or technologies such as:
hardware and software partitioning,
time-sharing,
partial or complete machine simulation,
emulation,
quality of service,
and many others.

“Virtualization is an abstraction layer that decouples the physical hardware

from the operating system to deliver greater IT resource utilization and flexibility.”
