The different types of virtualization are:

• Data virtualization: Data from various sources can be combined into a single source. Data virtualization enables businesses to approach data as a dynamic resource, allowing them to combine data from many sources, readily adapt new data sources, and change data to meet user requirements. Data virtualization tools sit in front of numerous data sources and allow them to be regarded as a single source, giving the right data to the right application or user at the right time.
• Server virtualization: Servers are computers that are designed to efficiently handle a large NUMBER of specified tasks so that other computers, such as laptops and desktops, can perform a range of other functions. Virtualizing a server allows it to perform more of those specific activities while also allowing the components to be USED for different purposes.
• Application virtualization: Application virtualization allows a user to access a server-based application from a remote location. The server keeps all of the application's personal data and other characteristics, yet it can still be run on a local workstation over the internet. A user who has to run TWO separate versions of the same software is an example of this. Hosted apps and packaged applications are examples of technologies that leverage application virtualization.
• Desktop virtualization: Desktop virtualization, which is easily confused with operating system virtualization, which allows you to install multiple operating systems on a single machine, allows a central administrator (or automated administration tool) to deploy simulated desktop environments to hundreds of physical machines at the same time. Unlike traditional desktop environments, which need each computer to be physically installed, CONFIGURED, and updated, desktop virtualization enables administrators to do mass configurations, updates, and security checks across all virtual desktops.
• Network virtualization: The capacity to manage several virtual networks, each with its own data and management plan. It coexists on top of a single physical network. It can be handled by individuals who may or may not be aware of each other's identities. Within days or EVEN weeks, network virtualization allows you to construct and provision virtual networks, including logical switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, VPNs, and workload security. Virtualizing networks minimises the number of physical components needed to build several, independent networks, such as switches, routers, servers, cables, and hubs, and it's very popular in the telecommunications business.
• Storage virtualization: Storage virtualization abstracts resources such that several physical storage arrays appear to be a single storage pool with direct and independent access. Storage virtualization software gathers and maintains storage across several storage arrays, then serves it to applications as needed. The use of centralised virtual storage improves resource flexibility and availability. From a central console, this data virtualization and centralization may be simply managed. Users can manage and access numerous arrays as if they were a single storage unit.
