Abstract:
VT is one of the most sought-after topics these days. Virtualization allows a single
computer to run several OSs at the same time [1] VT enables businesses to run multiple
services on a single server, lowering the cost of managing multiple hardware and
maximizing resource utilization. Cloud computing is currently a hot topic of research
in computer systems, and virtualization is the key to cloud computing.
VT reduces costs in corporate data centers by combining server applications into fewer
servers in a more reliable and secure manner. Different loads running on the same
platform improve management, security, and cost. Computer hardware is rapidly
increasing the performance of its physical resources and as a result tends to have some
resources not fully utilized and VT has overcome this problem. Maximum utilization
of the computer system is made possible with the help of this technology.
There are several reasons to answer why virtualization is needed as it has several
advantages both financial and managerial. There are many challenges that can arise as
you develop new applications and computer systems, especially nowadays when
modern hardware is available for commercial and enterprise use on a large scale. VT
enables abstraction from actual hardware while also removing limits on operating a
single OS on a single piece of hardware. We use methods like Iozone, Ram Speed
Testing and UnixBench for measuring the performance of the systems.
