Abstract
This chapter discusses how server virtualization happens along with exploring many of the most common server virtualization products and hypervisors. It explains that server virtualization is the separation of server computing functions from the physical resources they reside on and that the purpose of server virtualization is ultimately to save money by more efficiently utilizing server capacity, saving room and power in data centers by having fewer machines, and creating a much more flexible operating environment for the organization. Furthermore, it takes a look at the growing trends in server virutalization, including storage virtualization, network virtualization, and workload management. It also provides an understanding of the differences between server virtualization and desktop virtualization, highlighting that while the virtualization concepts are the same, servers and desktops have radically different requirements in both functionality and their overall place in a larger enterprise environment. Finally, it concludes with a summary of descriptions of some of the more common virtual servers that are likely to be encountered during investigations.
