Abstract

Virtualization is the process of creating a virtual version of an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources. The main objective of this paper is developing virtualization infrastructure using open source solution for enabling virtual machine for a selected or developed application. This system makes use of bare-metal virtualization in which Virtual Machine Monitor runs directly on physical hardware. The system allocates resources dynamically via virtualization based on the application demand. As the demand increases the hypervisor dynamically creates virtual guest operating system and shutdown the guest operating system as demand decreases, thus achieving scalability. Hypervisor distribute the resources equally among the guest operating system.
