What is virtualization?

Definition: to create a virtual version of a device or resource, such as a server, storage device, network or even an operating system where the framework divides the resource into one or more execution environments

Benefits:

1.  Running multiple OS simultaneously

2.  Disaster Recovery

3.  Resource saving

What Is a VM �  VM – Virtual Machine

�  implies the setting up of a computer (guest machine) on certain hardware resources (host machine) such that the software / OS being run on the VM is separated from the host's hardware resources.

Disaster Recovery: VM Backup & Restore

Disaster Recovery – Remote Backup & Restore.

Non-stop backup – online VM backup.

Shorten the VM downtime – directly boot up the VM backup.

Scheduled backups – Set a retention number and preserve VM snapshots.

Snapshots can only revert a VM to the previous normal status. However, if the HDD experiences problems, the VM image does not exist…
