Study Notes
Platform Openness
- Allows virtual machines from different vendors to coexist on a single platform
- Standardizes connection protocols to ensure compatibility between terminals and cloud platforms
- Addresses terminal compatibility issues in public desktop clouds
- Improves the industrial chain structure
Virtualization Technology Advantages
- Reduces the number of terminal equipment:
- Reduces maintenance and management costs
- Consolidates multiple systems into a single host
- Reduces energy consumption and rack space
- Increases security:
- Isolates virtual machines from each other and from the host operating system
- Enables fault tolerance planning for business continuity
- Simplifies backup and replication processes
- Increases availability:
- Centralized management of physical resources
- Reduces complexity of network management system
Virtualization Technology Implementation
- Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM): provides hardware resource abstraction and a running environment for guest operating systems
- Virtualization platform (Hypervisor): hosts and manages virtual machines, running directly on hardware
- Two main implementation methods:
- Priority Compression: intercepts privileged instructions and virtualizes them
- Binary Code Translation: modifies the client's binary code to handle virtualization-unfriendly instructions
- Hardware-assisted full virtualization: adds hardware support for virtualization, improving efficiency and security
- Network Interfaces in Virtualization:
- Virtual machines use virtual network interfaces, connected by a virtual switch
- Virtual switch handles data packet forwarding between virtual machines
Storage Virtualization
- Addresses the increasing requirements of information services for storage capacity, performance, and manageability
- RAID technology is a precursor to storage virtualization technology
