Top 5 Hypervisor tools | List of best Virtual machine tools | scmGalaxy

by scmgalaxy KVirtualizationLeave a Comment on Top 5 Hypervisor tools | List of best Virtual machine tools | scmGalaxy
Today we are going to talk about Hypervisor which is also an important tool for Developers or programmers these days. In this post we are going to share the name & features of top Hypervisor tools which are mostly used by Developers these days.
But, before that let us first understand Hypervisor.
Hypervisor which is also known as Virtual machine monitor (VMM) is a software or firmware which allow to run and manage the virtual machines. In a broader way, we can say Hypervisor makes it possible to run different operating systems in the same machine by using all the hardwares like processor, memory etc. if no other operating system is on. In simple terms just understand, it is a tool which control and distributes the hardware resources to each operating system according to their needs without interrupting other operating systems.
Now, If we look forward there are two categories of Hypervisors
1. Type 1 hypervisor — This type of Hypervisor are also known as bare metal or native or embedded hypervisors. It can be installed and runs directly on the system hardware.
Highlights
  • More Efficient
  • Higher performance
  • Higher availability
  • Higher Security
  • Need skills to operate
2. Type 2 hypervisor — This type of Hypervisors can install & run on host operating system.
Highlights
  • Less Efficient
  • Less expertise Needed
  • Less security
  • Complex problems cannot handled
  • Easy to Install
  • Useful when I/O devices support is important.

 

So, Till now we read and understand about Hypervisors and types of hypervisors. Now, let’s move on to the important section where we will look on to the top 5 hypervisor tools. So let’s start.

1. VMware ESX or ESXi

  • KVM is used in products such as Redhat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV)
  • Live migration
  • Storage migration
  • Configuration snapshots
So, this is my list of top five hypervisor tools. Hope you guys will like my efforts and if you want to share your list of hypervisor tools than feel free to share in the comment box below. Lastly, I just want to say choose those tools which are suitable for you as per your requirements.

top-5-virtualization-tools

Software developers are busier now than ever before. They want to do more work in less time with quality. But, as we all know it’s not possible without right set of tools in your arsenal. So, it’s always good to find tools that can make work faster and make you more productive. Today we are going to talk on Virtualization tools. In this article I’m going to share a list of top 5 virtualization tool which will definitely help developers to improve their productivity and allow them to build better applications faster.

But, before that let’s have Quick introduction to Virtualization

Virtualization is a process in which, with the help of tools you can create a virtual version of resources like memory, operating system , server or networks instead of deploying the actual resource. In simple words you can understand it like this way: Virtualization let you run or operate a single computer into multiple ones. It let you run a Mac OS on Linux or Windows system in a single computer simultaneously. The Windows, Mac, Linux, or other system running in the virtual machine acts exactly as if it were running on real hardware. The same thing apply with storage, server or networks.

Basically Virtualization tools are used for server consolidation. But they are useful for software developers for writing or testing software.

If we look on to the benefits than these are the major benefits of Virtualization.

  1. Lessen the number of Hardware Resources
  2. 80% server use possible
  3. Cut IT costs
  4. consolidated hardware to achieve higher productivity from fewer servers
  5. multiple operating systems and applications on a single computer
  6. simple IT infrastructure with low upkeep
  7. Quickly deployment of new applications

So, Now without any further ado lets check out the Top 5 tools and their features.
