The video explains the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 virtualization systems. Type 2 runs on an existing operating system and is slower due to its reliance on the OS, while Type 1 is faster but requires special hardware. Examples of Type 1 include Hyper-V and vSphere, while Type 2 includes Microsoft Virtual PC and VirtualBox.

This video will look at the different types of virtualization available on the market

referred to as type 1 and type 2. Understanding how these types work will give you a
better understanding of which one you should use to meet your needs.

Type 1 & Type 2 Virtualization
00:11 Type 2 was the first virtualization system to be developed. It is designed to run
on an existing operating system. The virtual machines running in the virtualization
solution connect to a hypervisor which translate the instructions into operating
system instructions which are then handled by the operating system. Since the
operating system is needed to access the hardware, this is slower than if the virtual
machines had a direct route to the hardware. The advantage of type 2 is they do not
require any special hardware in order to run.

With Type 1 virtualization, the operating system and any virtual machines run through
the same hypervisor. This makes it faster than type 2. In order for type 1 to work,
special hardware requirements are required. For example, the CPU and BIOS need to
support virtualization.

Type 1 & Type 2 Virtualization Examples
01:34 Type 1: Hyper-V and vSphere. The advantage of Hyper-V is that it can be run on
the same computer running Windows. vSphere, in contrast, requires a dedicated
computer that can only be used to run vSphere. Microsoft has also supplied a Hyper-
V standalone version if you want to run Hyper-V on a dedicated computer.

Type2: Microsoft Virtual PC, Microsoft Virtual Server, VMWare Workstation and
VirtualBox. The advantage of these is that they can be installed on Windows and do
not require special hardware.

Hyper-V
02:20 Hyper-V is sometimes mistaken for a Type 2 virtualization solution. This is
because unless you are using the stand-alone version, you require an operating
system. Without the Hyper-V role installed, the operating system uses a HAL
(Hardware Abstraction Layer) to access the hardware.

When Hyper-V is installed, the HAL is replaced by a Hypervisor and the operating
system and virtual machines access the hardware through the hypervisor. So
essentially the hypervisor is a HAL with additional features required for virtual
machines.
