What is Virtualization and why do you need to know it?

HomeResourcesBlogWhat is Virtualization and why do you need to know it?
January 4, 2023 | Azure
Read Time: 05:32

Virtualization has almost completely taken over the corporate world as a means of reducing IT costs, boosting security, and improving operational effectiveness. Today 92% of organizations use virtualization in some form. They use virtual machines (VMs) for network and data virtualization, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), application virtualization, and storage virtualization.

But how exactly does virtualization work? How may it benefit a business? Why should companies think about virtualization rather than just purchasing extra equipment? Let’s see.

What Is Virtualization?

Virtualization allows you to make a single piece of machinery function as various components, saving you money on additional hardware & equipment. Virtualization allows you to build software-based (virtual) apps, servers, networks, storage, desktops, and much more. It is the most effective strategy to cut IT costs while increasing company efficiency and agility.

Virtualization is the process of running a virtual instance of a system in a layer beyond the actual hardware. To meet the processing and storage demands, companies frequently find it ineffective and expensive to deploy several servers. Instead of using a single real hardware system, virtualization enables the creation of many simulated environments. A piece of software called a hypervisor facilitates this process by connecting directly to your hardware and enabling you to divide a single system into virtual machines, which are entirely different, discrete, and safe environments. The hypervisor offers the ability to decouple the machine’s resources from the hardware & distribute them correctly. These resources include the CPU, memory, storage, and more.

These virtual systems are stand-alone entities that are unrelated to one another. Running software intended for a different OS on the virtualized system is one frequent use, which saves you from having to transfer computers or reboot.

Types of Virtualization

There are several ways to use virtualization to meet the goals and transform the company. Here are just a few instances of how virtualization can help:

  • Server Virtualization

    A single physical server can now run several os’s as highly effective virtual machines thanks to virtualization. Virtual servers, which are entirely independent of one another, do away with server sprawl & complexity, lower operating costs, offer higher server availability, improved application performance, quicker workload deployment, as well as increased IT efficiency.

  • Application Virtualization

    Application delivery from a server directly to a user’s device, like a laptop, phone, or tablet, is possible via virtualization. The employees can access the program directly from their electronic devices, as long as they have an internet connection, rather than needing to log onto PCs at work or a network server.

  • Network Virtualization

    Network virtualization merges all physical networking hardware into a single, software-based resource, completely replicating a physical network. This enables software to function on a virtual network the same way as it would on a real one. A virtual network, however, offers higher operational advantages and freedom from hardware.

  • Desktop Virtualization

    Among the most popular forms of virtualization, desktop virtualization divides the desktop environment from the actual computer, enabling users to view all of their private data and software on any PC. The employees don’t need to bring their work computers with them or head to the office to perform specific duties.

    The employees can work remotely since they can access files on any computer. Additionally, virtual desktops enable businesses to react more quickly to evolving workplace requirements, such as remote employees.

  • Storage Virtualization

    Virtual storage is when a physical device’s storage capacity pools together and is accessible for reallocation in a virtualized environment.  It is the consolidation of physical storage from several devices into what seems to be one storage device, all under the control of a single console. The technique uses software to determine the amount of available storage, then pools that storage so that virtual computers may use it in a virtual environment.

    Virtual storage seems to users to be the same as a typical read or write to a real disc. It conceals the storage system’s complexity, making it simpler and quicker for users and administrators to do activities like backup, archiving, and recovery.

Benefits of Virtualization

There are several perks to virtualization. Less physical machinery allows for simpler facilities. This conserves space and reduces the cost of hardware, upkeep, and operations. Additionally, it supports program compatibility & central management. Here are a few other advantages:

  • Recovery after a crisis is easy.
  • The same system can perform backups.
  • It makes the transition of servers to new hardware seamless.
  • Because virtualization software reallocates hardware resources dynamically as needed, managing workloads is much simpler.
  • Load balancing is possible since the machine is contained. It is easy to change settings to boost performance.
  • It enables faster migration environments.

There is less demand for physical space when there are fewer machines. It reduces the cost of cooling, power, and maintenance.

Operating system flexibility is another benefit. Consider a scenario in which your business wishes to update or migrate to a new operating system that is incompatible with older applications. To maintain your legacy programs, you might continue to use your old operating system while running it in a virtual environment.

Get Microsoft Azure training for better virtualization
