What is a Virtual Server?

Virtual servers are often seen as a more cost effective and efficient resource control option compared to dedicated servers for many enterprises. But how exactly do virtual servers work, and what is the difference between a virtual server and a dedicated server?

In this lightboard video, Bradley Knapp with IBM Cloud, answers these questions and many more as he visually explains what a virtual server is as well as the many benefits it can provide a business.

No matter what topic it is, his way of explaining things are always amazing!

[dharmann]

love this man fr. really skilled at explaining the more technical terms in a digestible manner.

one of the best ( if not the best ) instructors in the IBM cloud learning series <3 <3

Lovely and simplified explanation, many thanks.

Please give more detail into the finite processes of VSI's and processes. I would love to dig into cloud computing .

[rodrigolomar]

Wow! Best way of explaining I've ever seem. Very nice!

Hi i became fan of yours by just watching 2-3 videos.

Bradley, your (and your team) ability f performance the beauty of SW domain is directly cloned from Broadway Theaters. Excellence in all the pieces of exhibition. For sure the great community/subscribers have similar observations. Impressive channel and remarkably useful info. Thanks for sharing your passion. Have a nice day!

Can you please have a session on Kubernetes offering from IBM and the advantage of it over other cloud providers ?

[BBRR]

Great to hear how the server can be built custom by putting more networking power or more compute power or more processing power, etc. It seems virtual servers are too good to be true though. How all the hardware that would be used on a virtual server just takes up 1U of space? I still dont understand that, is it some kind of emulation, or is the processing being somewhere else on a offline server. I would greatly appreciate your advice and more information into this subject as I am new to it and still learning more. Thank you!

Can we have more technical details of VM or VS @IBM? Thanks

I'm curious, what's the difference between a VPS and a HYPERVISOR

[gchehabayesa]

HI, so if I understood correctly, physical servers are so powerful nowadays that their resources can be distributed so they can host several virtual servers.

[luismesquita]

Is there a limit for VSI in 1U? How many VSI can a 1U store? Also, is there a limit for CPU, RAM or Network in a 1U?

[CaptainReedo]

I thought RAM was memory or video capability (vRAM) and not “storage.”

How is this different from virtual machine?

I wasn't concentrating on the subject but how can he write backwards.. then it occurred to me that he must be filming himself writing on a mirror lol -.-
