What Is Virtualization?
Without Virtualization
Interface bound to process
Personal profiles and
settings bound to OS
Applications installed to
Specific hardware and OS
Operating System assigned
to specific hardware
Storage assigned to
specific locations
Network assigned
to specific locations
With Virtualization
Virtualization Issues
Virtual Presentation
Presentation layer separate from process
Virtual Profiles
Infrastructure
Personal profiles/settings separate from OS
Virtual Applications
Any application on any computer on-demand
Virtual Machine
OS can be assigned to any desktop or server
Virtual Storage
Storage and backup over the network
Management
Licensing
Interoperability
Support
Virtual Network
Localizing dispersed resources
Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from others

VM Deployment And Storage Integration
LAN based deployment via BITS
Cluster Based Migration – Hyper-V and VMware
Integration with VDS for Fiber Channel and
iSCSI based migrations
NPIV solution for fiber channel SANs
N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) is an ANSI/INCITS T11 standard
Allows a physical port to acquire multiple SAN addresses
Enables SAN best practices: Each virtual machine
is independently Zoned, and LUNs are mapped and
masked using dedicated World Wide Port Names (WWPNs)
