Most common types of virtualization

1. Application Virtualization :- This is a process where applications get virtualized and are delivered from a server to end user
               device, such as laptops and smartphones.So instead of logging into their computers at work users
               can gain virtual access through application anytime.
   BENEFITS:- As in this virtualization we gain access to applications virtually So it is popular for businesses that require the
       use of their applications on the go.

2. Desktop Virtualization :- Desktop virtualization separates the desktop environment from the physical device and configured as a
           'virtual desktop infrastructure'(VDI). Desktop virtualization is that users are able to access all
           their personal files and applications from any location and on any system this means that they can work
           from anywhere without the need to bring their computer.
   BENEFITS:- In this users are able to access all their personal files and applications from any location and on any PC.
       It also lowers the cost of licensing for installing software on desktops since all of the virtual desktops
       are hosted at the same location.

3. Hardware Virtualization :- This virtualization is only possible by using the hypervisor which is a virtual machine manager. The
           hypervisor creates virtual versions of computers and operating systems and combines them into one
           large physical server, so that all the hardware resources can be utilized more efficiently. It also
           enables users to run different operating systems on the same PC at the same time.
   BENEFITS:- 1. Reduced Hardware Costs ,greatly Improved Disaster Recovery and Increased Productivity.
         
4. Network Virtualization :- It is the process of dividing bandwidth into multiple, independent channels, each of which can be
           assigned to servers and devices in real time. With the distributed channels, your network speed
           will increase dramatically, allowing you to deliver services and applications faster than ever before.
   BENEFITS:- Businesses that have a large number of users and need to keep their systems up and running at all times are
       benefitted from Network virtualization beacause of its distributed channels.

5. Storage Virtualization :- This type of virtualization involves compiling your physical hard drives into a single cluster.
           Storage virtualization is useful when it comes to planning for disaster recovery, since the data stored
            on our virtual storage can be copied and transferred to another device or location. As we are using a
           centralized system so it eliminates the problems and costs of managing multiple storage devices.
   BENEFITS:- Data recovery and cost effectiveness is the most important aspect of Storage Virtualization.
