5, for example, the hypervisor was about 32 MB, while the service console required closer to 900 MB. The second reason was security. Linux is a well-understood environment and there was concern that the hypervisor could be compromised through the service console. ESXi was developed as the same hypervisor core, but without the service console. The hypervisor is managed through a command-line interface (CLI) and has been re-architected to allow third-party integrations that had been done through agents in the service console.

In the 1990s researchers began investigating the possibility of building a commercially affordable version of a VMM. One large limitation of the mainframes was that they were very expensive when compared to a minicomputer. Providing virtualization atop affordable industry standard hardware would be considerably more cost effective for most businesses. The other half of the challenge was creating a solution that would run a guest operating without any modifications. This was crucial because modifications would open the possibility that a virtual machine was not essentially identical to its physical counterpart, which meant that solutions designed in the virtual environment would not necessarily translate to the physical environment 100 percent of the time, leading to additional complexity in an application’s life cycle.

Like both server and desktop virtualization, there are a number of different solutions for this problem. There are two main reasons for application virtualization; the first is ease of deployment. Think about the number of programs you have on your PC. Some companies must manage hundreds or even thousands of different applications. Every time a new version of each of those applications is available, the company, if it decides to upgrade to that newer version, has to push out a copy to all of its PCs.
