A Survey of Virtualization Technologies: Towards a New Taxonomic Proposal

At present, there is a proliferation of virtualization technologies (VTs), which are part the basic and underlying infrastructure popular cloud computing. Those interested in VTs faced with non-unified volume information various approaches to modes operation, classification structures, performance implications these technologies. This makes it difficult decide type VT appropriate for particular context. Therefore, this paper reviews state art on taxonomic models. Methodologically, literature review carried out identify models, recognizing their features weaknesses. With mind, new taxonomy proposed, responds weaknesses identified analyzed schemes. The combines Abstraction Level Virtual Machine Type approaches, providing reader means visualize VTs. In doing so, can locate level abstraction at each developed, addition machine projected, whether complete system or an execution environment processes. proposed be used academic facilitate teaching processes business decision-making when implementing
