Abstract

Virtualization technology enables organizations to take the benefit of different services, operating systems, and softwares without increasing their IT infrastructure liabilities. Virtualization software partitions the physical servers in multiple Virtual Machines (VM) where each VM represents a complete system with the complete computing environment. This chapter discusses the installation and deployment procedures of VMs using Xen, KVM, and VMware hypervisor. Microsoft Hyper-v is introduced at the end of the chapter.
