Hi.

What is the difference between virtualization and Emulation.

Thanks

Mohammad

Expert Solution
Step 1

The difference between Virtualization and Emulation are:

S.NO

VIRTUALIZATION

EMULATION

1

In this, parts of the computer hardware are simulated

In this, the entire hardware is simulated in software.

2

Virtualization is faster when compared to emulation

Emulation is slower when compared to Virtualization

3

In virtualization, a virtual machine can run directly on the underlying hardware

In this,  the properties of one system are taken and tried to reproduce with a different type of system.

4

So, a guest OS can run without any modification. In this, most of the operations will run on the real hardware for efficiency purposes. 

In emulation, a hardware component is replaced by a software-based construct.

5

Here, the computing resources are utilized in an efficient manner that is independent of the physical location or layout

In an emulated server, we can run a complete virtual machine

6

A single physical system can be divided into many independent environments called virtual machines.

Here, we can run programs that are designed for an entirely different architecture on an x86 PC.
