Hardware virtualization is a technology that allows you to create multiple isolated virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical server using special support at the processor and motherboard level. Unlike software virtualization, hardware virtualization uses a hypervisor that directly manages resource allocation between guest operating systems, ensuring high performance and security.
Operating Principle
Virtual machines run independently of each other, can run any operating system or application, and the failure or compromise of one VM does not affect the others. The hypervisor installed on the server creates virtual resources (processors, memory, I/O devices) and distributes them among virtual machines, allowing efficient use of computing power and isolation of working environments.
Thus, hardware virtualization provides:
- Simultaneous operation of multiple independent operating systems on a single server.
- Efficient and secure resource allocation.
- High performance through direct access to hardware.
