What is Server Virtualization? Types of Server Virtualization Benefits of Server Virtualization
This process involves the use of a hypervisor, which is a VMM(virtual machine monitor) a software layer that exists between the operating system and hardware. It provides the necessary services and features for the smooth running of multiple operating systems.
The hypervisor allocates and manages the resources of the physical server, such as CPU, memory, and storage, among the virtual machines.
A host operating system also runs on top of the hypervisor to administer and manage the virtual machines.
