The different types of virtualisation

The different types of virtualisation

Virtualisation comes in several forms:

  • Server virtualisation: several virtual servers on the same physical host.
  • Storage virtualisation: physical disks combined into a single resource pool.
  • Network virtualisation: software-based segmentation to improve network management and security.
  • Desktop virtualisation: virtual work environments provided to end users.

Practical examples

Storage virtualisation groups several physical hard drives into a single logical entity, optimising space and performance.

Companies use desktop virtualisation to give their employees uniform, secure environments that can be accessed from any device.

Additional advantages

  • Greater flexibility: make resource management easier and adapt resources quickly to changing needs.
  • Stronger security: limit points of vulnerability through better isolation.
