  • Virtualization: Esxi

    VMware ESXi is a leading enterprise-class hypervisor that enables efficient, scalable virtualization of computing resources. A part of VMware vSphere, ESXi is a Type 1 hypervisor, which means it runs directly on hardware without the need for a host operating system. Its primary use is to host virtual machines (VMs), effectively allowing multiple operating systems…

  • Virtualization : ProxMox

    Proxmox is an open-source virtualization platform designed to manage virtualized environments, supporting both virtual machines (VMs) and containers. It is widely used for server virtualization, high availability clusters, and software-defined storage. Proxmox combines the power of KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) for full virtualization and LXC (Linux Containers) for lightweight containerization. It offers a web-based management…

  • Virtualization: Type 2 Hypervisor

    A Type 2 Hypervisor, also known as a hosted hypervisor, is a virtualization technology that runs on top of a host operating system (OS) rather than directly on the hardware. Unlike Type 1 hypervisors, which run directly on physical hardware, Type 2 hypervisors rely on the host OS to manage hardware resources. Type 2 hypervisors…

  • Virtualization: Type 1 Hypervisor

    A Type 1 hypervisor, also known as a bare-metal hypervisor, is a virtualization technology that operates directly on the physical hardware of a host machine, without the need for an underlying operating system. Unlike Type 2 hypervisors, which run on top of a host operating system, Type 1 hypervisors manage virtual machines (VMs) at the…
