Section 3 deals with the analysis of some important aspects of virtual machine such as architecture, main features, types, major features of virtual machines, formal conditions of virtualization.
Section 4 analyses the implications of virtual machines for the computing system. These are located in the fields of integrity, performance and sharing of services.
Section 5 presents the two major applications of virtual machine system.
In section 6, the aspect of performance degradation is deeply studied by means of a practical model. That will result in a statistic study, based on the difference of time requested for the same instruction realized in a real or virtual machine environment.
