It’s a workload
Virtual Machine is a computer!
Host Perspective:
* Virtualization is a new server workload, but with similar monitoring needs as existing workloads.
* Virtual Machine is a component of the virtualization stack.

11. Server Virtualization Management Pack

17. Reference Slides
The following slides are here purely for your reference after the event...

18. What is Virtualization?
Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from the others:
Traditional software stack
Component isolation with Virtualization
Virtual Applications
Any application on any computer on-demand
Applications installed to
Specific hardware and OS
Virtual Presentation
Presentation layer separate from process
Interface bound to process
Operating System assigned
to specific hardware
Virtual Machine
OS can be assigned to any desktop or server
Storage assigned to specific
locations
Virtual Storage
Storage and backup over the network
Network assigned to specific
locations
Virtual Network
Localizing dispersed resources
Virtualization results in more efficient resource utilization, and enables greater flexibility and simplified change management
