A Bare Metal Server, a Type 1 hypervisor, runs directly on hardware, while a Hosted Hypervisor, a Type 2 hypervisor, operates atop an existing OS.
Bare Metal: Direct access leads to higher performance and less latency. Hosted Hypervisor: Overhead from the OS can impact performance slightly.
High-Performance Computing: Ideal for intensive workloads like data analytics. Virtualization: Efficient for large-scale virtual environments.
Development and Testing: Quick setup for software development environments. Small to Medium Businesses: Suitable for flexible and scalable solutions.
Bare Metal: Requires more hands-on management due to direct hardware access. Hosted Hypervisor: Easier to manage through the existing OS interface.
Bare Metal: Reduced attack surface but requires strict security protocols. Hosted Hypervisor: Additional layers may introduce vulnerabilities if not managed properly.
Bare Metal: Often requires a larger upfront investment for hardware. Hosted Hypervisor: Lower initial costs but may incur higher operational expenses.
