A Survey of Virtualization Techniques in Cloud Computing

Abstract

The way of usage of computer is changed due to Internet and new technology called cloud computing. Cloud computing is the merging of another two new technologies like service-oriented architecture (SOA) and virtualization. The virtualization is gaining new goals and attracting those who need to perform the ‘‘miracle of multiplication,’’ as it is to fit more information into less space. The present survey paper is addressing about the virtualization which is one of the key features of the cloud computing, types of virtualization and its approaches, types of hypervisor, and building private cloud with the virtualization. The security of cloud computing is also discussed with new idea of introducing optical network as an access network and its devices in the data centers for an energy efficient centers.
