Virtualization, not Virtualisation....

In an upcoming session I (PsychiC) would like to share some thoughts about virtualization. What does it actually mean and what does it actually do ? There are many forms of virtualization ranging from applications to networking, each having unique capabilities and many integrate with eachother to create a virtual platform.

I will focus on the aspects we are able to use in the hackerspace, thus providing a base for participants to explore the possibilities of virtualization.

For now you won't need any hardware for this will be a paper talk only.

Server

On Wednesday 28th of September 2011 I will tell you how you can get your own virtual server at ACK.space.

At first I will talk about the differences between desktop and server virtualization. I will demonstrate the platform we use and how you can get your stuff on the virtual platform. We will create some virtual servers and explain how to reach them from the outside world.

Basics / Desktop

On 3th June 2011 I will start with a few basics around desktop/virtualization using VMware player/workstation/server. The basics should apply to other host-based virtualization software like virtualbox.
