Virtual Systems and Service

Course Contents:
This course will investigate the current state of virtualization in computing systems.
Virtualization at both the hardware and software levels will be examined, with emphasis on
the hypervisor configurations of systems such as Vmware, Zen and Hyper-V. The features and
limitations of virtual environments will be considered, along with several case studies used to
demonstrate the configuration and management of such systems. Para-virtualized software
components will be analyzed and their pros and cons discussed. Processor and peripheral
support for virtualization will also be examined, with a focus on emerging hardware features
and the future of virtualization.
