    The document discusses virtualization and virtual machine managers (VMMs or hypervisors). It describes how VMMs allow multiple operating systems to run on one machine, saving resources. There are two types of hypervisors: type 1 runs directly on hardware while type 2 runs within a conventional OS. VMMs provide benefits like resource sharing and isolation. Popular VMMs include Xen, Hyper-V, and VMware. VMMs have applications in server virtualization, software testing, and development projects. While virtualization improves security, the virtual environment is also vulnerable to traditional attacks, so new protection programs focus on hypervisor security.

    What is Virtualization ?
    Virtualization is both an opportunity and a threat

    - says Patrick Lin, Senior director of Product Management for VMware.


    Primary Benefits been Resource Sharing Isolation

    Virtual Machine Manager


    Also known as Hypervisor.

    Allows run multiple operating systems on one or more

    machines.

    Origins
    First developed for Servers and Mainframes by IBM in

    1967.

    Since then Virtualization has been featured in all

    successor systems.

    In 1985 IBM introduced the PR/SM hypervisor to

    manage logical partitions (LPAR).

    Types of Hypervisor
    TYPE1 (or Native) Hypervisor runs directly on the
    hardware.

    Types of Hypervisor

    conventional operating system environment.

    TYPE 2 (or hosted) hypervisors run within a

    Types of Hypervisor
    Embedded Hypervisor which are integrated into a processor on a separate chip. CPU vendors have added hardware virtualization assistance to their products. Embedded Hypervisor are similar to TYPE 1.

    Different Approaches by Hypervisor


    Full Virtualization

    Para-Virtualization
    Resource Virtualization Hardware Support Virtualization

    Different Hypervisor Available..


    Xen - Open Source Hypervisor

    Hyper V - Microsoft
    VMware ESX /ESX(i) - VMware Inc. Wind River Hypervisor

    Applications
    Live Migrations

    In Software Testing and Evaluation


    In Development of Projects

    Security of Hypervisor
    The virtualized environment is vulnerable to all the

    traditional attacks and exploits that are common to the normal environment.

    New security protection programs are also emerging in

    the market every now from different vendors, mainly focused on hypervisor.

    Security stand point,each distribution has a key point of administration


    Xen Hypervisor it is Domain 0.

    sHype.

    VMware ESX it is called the service console . Hyper-V it is known as the management operating system.

    Scope in

    Industry

    Summary
    With distributed systems becoming more prevalent

    in modern computing Virtual Machine Manager are a boon to the industry.
