Storage Virtualization
● Multiple physical storage
devices are grouped
together, which then
appear as a single storage
device.
● This provides various
advantages such as
homogenization of storage
across storage devices of
multiple capacity and
speeds, reduced downtime,
load balancing and better
optimization of
performance and speed.
2
Storage Virtualization
● Partitioning your hard
drive into multiple
partitions is an example of
this virtualization.
Subtype:
● Block Virtualization –
Multiple storage devices
are consolidated into one
● File Virtualization –
Storage system grants
access to files that are
stored over multiple hosts
3
Memory Virtualization
● Physical memory across different servers is aggregated into a
single virtualized memory pool.
● It provides the benefit of an enlarged contiguous working
memory.
● You may already be familiar with this, as some OS such as
Microsoft Windows OS allows a portion of your storage disk
to serve as an extension of your RAM. 4
Network Virtualization
● Multiple sub-networks can be created on the same
physical network, which may or may not is authorized to
communicate with each other.
5
Network Virtualization
● This enables restriction of file movement across networks
and enhances security, and allows better monitoring and
identification of data usage which lets the network
administrator’s scale up the network appropriately. 6
Network Virtualization
● It also increases reliability as a disruption in one network
doesn’t affect other networks, and the diagnosis is easier.
7
Server Virtualization
• Software (SoftV)
• Hardware (HardV)
8
Software Virtualization
● Software Virtualization involves the creation of an
operation of multiple virtual environments on the host
machine.
● It creates a computer system complete with hardware
that lets the guest operating system to run.
● For example, it lets you run Android OS on a host
machine natively using a Microsoft Windows OS, utilizing
the same hardware as the host machine does.

Software Virtualization
Subtypes:
● Operating System Virtualization – hosting multiple OS
on the native OS
● Application Virtualization – hosting individual
applications in a virtual environment separate from the
native OS
● Service Virtualization – hosting specific processes and
services related to a particular application

Hardware Virtualization
● Hardware virtualization also known as hardware-assisted
virtualization or server virtualization runs on the concept that
an individual independent segment of hardware or a
physical server, may be made up of multiple smaller
hardware segments or servers, essentially consolidating
multiple physical servers into virtual servers that run on a
single primary physical server.
● The main advantages include increased processing power
as a result of maximized hardware utilization and application
uptime.
● Each small server can host a virtual machine, but the entire
cluster of servers is treated as a single device by any
process requesting the hardware.
● The hardware resource allotment is done by the hypervisor.
