Benefits of Virtual Networks

Common network links with access-
control properties of separate links
Switch
Manage logical networks instead of
physical networks
Switch VLAN trunk Virtual SANs provide similar benefits
for storage-area networks

ServerVirtualization
Before Server Virtualization:
Application
Operating system
Single operating system image per
machine
Software and hardware tightly coupled
Running multiple applications on same
machine often creates conflict
Underutilized resources

Operating system Operating system
Virtualization layer
Virtual Machines (VMs) break
dependencies between operating
system and hardware
Manage operating system and
application as single unit by
encapsulating them into VMs
Strong fault and security isolation
Hardware-independent
