TLE_IACSS9-12ICCS-IIIa-e-31

Objectives:
1. Identify the features and functions of software virtualization.
2. Learn how to perform basic virtualization methods.
3. Develop the student’s decision-making skills by challenging the student’s thinking skills
on why and when to perform virtualization using their PC

Learning Task 1:
One of the most powerful features of Windows such as Windows 10 is the support for
virtualization. And this is possible with the use of Hyper-V or hypervisor platforms present in your
OS. By using this, the virtual machine looks separate from your main system which makes you go
silly and crazy with it online or offline.
Let us explore the world of virtualization using our own computer at home.

The hardware virtualization system requirements

should be:
-Windows 10 pro or enterprise
-64-bit processor
-4GB system RAM at minimum
-BIOS-level hardware virtualization support

Exercise your eyes through observation. Based on

the image, answer the following underlying
questions.
_________1. Is this PC supported by Hyper-V?
_________2. Is the memory volume capable of
performing virtualization based on the system requirements?
_________3. Does virtualization method already enable this PC?

Learning Task 2:
Virtualization is generating simulated or virtual versions (rather than actual) of computer
hardware, storage devices and computer network resources. It is mostly used by mainframe
computers/ servers to logically divide the system resources based on the task that it will perform.
This practice allows experts to operate multiple virtual systems on a single server or computer. It acts
like a real computer with an operating system.
For example, if you have a computer running Windows 10 and you create another virtual
computer using virtualization method and it seems to appear on a different computer in a network
which makes it looks like two devices. Same as with the use of other operating systems like Ubuntu
Linux, or certain versions of MAC OS.
In virtualization, there are host machines and guest machines. The host machine is the
software that runs on the physical machine which is used for virtualization while the guest machine
is the virtual machine. OS virtualization allows a piece of hardware to run multiple OS images at the
same time.

 A key to virtualization technology is called a hypervisor that emulates the underlying hardware.
It takes physical resources and separates them so they can be utilized by a virtual environment.
You can check the and allow hypervisor to your PC by searching to the start button the word
“windows features” then select the turn windows features on or off.

After selecting this, a window applet will show and

enable Hyper-V. Hit OK and it will apply the changes in your
PC. You will be prompted to restart your PC and you can now
modify the hypervisor or virtualization through your computer.
It is best to seek assistance to a technician if you wish to
change most of the settings through your hypervisor. You can
start the virtualization process through BIOS or through
certain applications present in the market.
Virtualization software available on the market includes:
1. VMware
2. Citrix
3. Microsoft
4. Oracle
5. Amazon
6. Red hat
There are two types of hypervisors:
1. Type 1 or “bare-metal” hypervisors – replaces the traditional OS altogether which
commonly appear in virtual server scenarios.
2. Type 2 hypervisors – run as an application on an existing OS.

Below are the six areas of IT virtualization.

1. Network virtualization – method of combining resources in a network the splitting up
the bandwidth onto channels.
2. Storage virtualization – sharing of physical storage from multiple network storage devices.
3. Server virtualization – concealing of server resources including processors and operating
systems.
4. Data virtualization – abstracting the technical details of data management commonly used
in business needs.
5. Desktop virtualization – allows the user to access desktop remotely.
6. Application virtualization – abstracting the application later away from the operating system.
This allows Windows applications to run on Linux and vice versa.
Advantages of Virtualization
- Lower costs – reduces the amount of hardware servers necessary with a company and data
center.
- Easier disaster recovery – regular snapshots provide up-to-date data allowing virtual machines
to be feasibly backed up and recovered.
- Easier Testing – If the large mistake is made, the test does not need to stop and go back to the
beginning.
- Quicker backups – automatic snapshots are taken throughout the day to guarantee that all
data is up to date.
