Müller, Pavel ; Kyselý, František (referee) ; Pelka, Tomáš (advisor)
A thesis describes a virtualization of x86 platform. In the first part the virtualization, its utilization and specific types of virtualization are described in a general way. The specific types of virtualization are full virtualization, paravirtualization, virtualization on core level, hardware virtualization and application virtualization. There is also described a general function of virtual machine, reasons of virtualization implementing, current development, focusing on future development and virtualization security. In the second part the thesis tries to find a solution with establishment charges of virtualization. To test purposes the following software programs were used. The first one is freeware benchmark Sandra from SiSoft company and second one is a software created on the basis of the thesis. For the tests the CPU overhead both an arithmetic-logical unit and a unit for work with numbers and floating decimal point, a RAM data transmission efficiency and a hard disk logging rate were chosen. The following test machines were described: VMWare, VirtualBox and Xen. In the third and the last part of the thesis is a description of network interface virtualization methods with a utilization of tun and tap system. In each particular step a virtual network interface creation and implementation are presented. Model situations of communication among virtual and physical machines with usage of these devices are described at the end of the thesis.
