This report delves into the concept of virtualization within organizational contexts, elucidating its definition as the creation of virtual versions of computer hardware to enhance data security and streamline IT operations. It outlines the hardware requirements for virtualization, including processor speed, RAM, and disk space, alongside a discussion of its advantages such as reduced energy consumption and cost savings, as well as disadvantages like high upfront costs and software licensing fees. The report then analyzes system requirements, including RAM and processor specifications, and details the initial costs of implementation. A comparative analysis of virtualization software is presented, focusing on VMWare vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Windows Virtual PC, highlighting their pros and cons. The report concludes by summarizing the key benefits of virtualization and offering recommendations for its optimal implementation, such as using fewer large virtual machines and allocating appropriate resources for vCPUs, ultimately aiming for cost-effectiveness and enhanced data security for organizations.
