The Environment it creates For the VM is essentially identical to the original (hardware) Physical Machine.
what is Fidelity
The VMM must have complete control of the system resorurces.
what is Isolation or safety
There should be alittle or no difference between the VM and a physical equivalent
what is Performance
what is Virtualization
what is Virtualization is a disruptive technology, shattering the status quo of how physical computers are handled, and how services are delivered and also how much budgets are allocated.
Originally called a virtual machine manager, its a layer if software that is installed between an operating system and the virtual machine or can also be directly connected to the hardware or bare -metal that provides the environment which a Vm operates
what is Hypervisor

what is snapshot
A combination of device drivers and processes that enhance the users experience with a virtual machine, it also helps with vm performance.
what is vmare tools

what is bare-metal
An exact copy of a virtual machine.
what is a clone
the practice of of condensing multiple physical servers into one server through the use of virtualization
what is consolidation
A memory optimization technique that puts memory pages together and stores them in a cache rather then swapping them from memory to disk storage
what is compression
one of the leading providers of Linux distribution that makes it profits from support rather than license sales.
what is Red Hat Enterprise Linux
A process that allows thee hypervisor to reclaim physical memory pages by forcing the virtual machine operating system to flush memory pages to disk
what is ballooning
