Example x86 virtualization scenarios
Example x86 virtualization scenarios
- Running one or more applications that are not supported by the host OS
- A virtual machine running the required guest OS could allow the desired applications to be run, without altering the host OS.
- Evaluating an alternate operating system
- The new OS could be run within a VM, without altering the host OS.
- Server virtualization
- Multiple virtual servers could be run on a single physical server, in order to more fully utilize the hardware resources of the physical server.
- Duplicating specific environments
- A virtual machine could, depending on the virtualization software used, be duplicated and installed on multiple hosts.
- Creating a protected environment
- If a the guest OS running on a VM becomes infected with malware, the host operating system's exposure to the risk may be limited, depending on the configuration of the virtualization software.
