Hardware Virtualization for Low Cost Solutions in Education

Samreen Khan; Dr. Anurag Seetha; K. K. Pandey

Currently, Virtualization Technology (VT) is one of the significant technology that provide maximum benefits and opportunities for computing industry, education and research. At present, mostly used and developed mechanism is hardware virtualization which provides a common platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. More precisely, the term ‘hardware virtualization’ is used abundantly throughout the education industry. However, Hardware virtualization for low cost solutions in education is just beginning to take advantage of VT. The work proposed in this paper focuses on the theoretical aspects and effective usage of hardware virtualization platforms based on several educational applications for low cost. This paper also reveals the features of virtualization technologies and discusses the consolidation of application-specific servers onto shared servers.
