Why Virtualization

Partitioning

• Run multiple operating systems on on physical machine.

• Divide system resources between.

Isolation

• Provide fault and security isolation at the hardware level.

• Preserve performance with advanced resource controls.

Encapsulation

• Save the entire state of a virtual machine to files.

• Move and copy virtual machines as easily as moving and copying files.

Hardware Independence

• Provision or migrate any virtual machine to any physical server.
