The idea of virtualization is to describe computing resources as pools. When a task is performed in a virtualized environment, the required resources are gathered from different pools. Server virtualization is one of the subcategories of virtualization and its main purpose is to enable the efficient use of physical server hardware. This is achieved by special instances called virtual machines. This paper concentrates on presenting and comparing different server virtualization schemes and techniques that are available to the IA-32 architecture. The difference between virtualization and various partitioning schemes are also examined as well as changes that the server virtualization causes to the existing infrastructure, environment and hardware. To support the theoretical point of view, various tests were performed with two separate virtualization software.
