Abstract: Virtualization has been suggested by researchers as one of the ways to go in cloud computing because of the rampant growth and advancement.The phenomena are rapidly gaining interest in the domain of cloud computing due partly to its inherent benefits such as better resource utilization and ease of system manageability.Virtualization refers to the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including virtual computer hardware platforms, operating systems, storage devices, and computer network resources.This concept has created lots of open opportunities for technology users as well as network administrators to make good use of technology at affordable cost.In this paper, we present a systematic review of the various types of virtualization, the advantages and disadvantages associated with running traditional operating system on a single hardware using server virtualization approach.Our findings show a paradigm of computing system been driven by economies of scale, in which a pool of abstracted, virtualized, dynamically-scalable, managed computing power, storage, platforms, and services are delivered on demand to external customers over the Internet.
