Abstract
Virtualization is increasingly taking on a key role in various system architectures which follow new platform concepts like Software as a Service (SaaS). This trend addresses more instant and short-term environments and comes with new methods and strategies for the distribution of mainly complex application stacks not only in large IT infrastructures. The paper presents how a so called Virtual Appliance can be set up in order to operate in virtual server environments using hypervisor software like Oracle Virtual-Box. Using the example of two server-side components within the Integrated Land Management System (ILMS), it will be shown that the use of state-of-the-art methods, standardized tools and interfaces on servers enables different aspects of environmental system management, analysis and planning.
Highlights
AND BACKGROUNDVirtualization in all its variations creates simulated computer environments to meet the requirements of streamlined IT infrastructures and modern platform concepts like the Cloud or Software as a Service (SaaS)
Host-based virtualization has to be used. This approach may be realized by a Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM), referred to as hypervisor, operating either at hardware or operating system level of physical systems
Using the Oracle VirtualBox (Net1) software as a VMM hosted by the operating system, the term type-2-hypervisor is very common
