    Type 1 virtualization


     

    type1 virtualizationA third type of virtualization technology available today is Type 1 VMM, or hypervizor technology. A hypervisor is layer of software that sits just above the hardware and beneath one or more operating systems. Its primary purpose is to provide isolated execution environments, called partitions, withing which virtual machines containing guest OSs can run. Each partition is provided with its own set of hardware resources – such as memory, CPU cycles, and devices – and the hypervisor is responsible for controlling and arbitrating access to the underlying hardware.

    Hypervizor-based virtualization has the greatest performance potential, and it has two types of hypervizor: monolithic and microkernelized. In next posts I’m gonna describe both types, and tell you which one is used in Windows Server 2008. :-)

    • Thanks!

      I agree, I can't wait to buy new laptop and to install Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V to test it.
    • Good insight Ilija, Hypervizor-based virtualization is the way to go.
    • I agree, but for now, I want this blog to be blog for beginners. It is easy to find many blogs that have content for professionals. With this blog I want to help non-professional visitors (or those who are just starting to learn Windows Server & virtualization), like me, to learn something new.

      But thank you for your comment. For now, this blog is going to be blog for beginners. Soon I'm gonna buy new laptop and then I'll write more tutorials and how-to posts. :-)
