2. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Resources

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform manages the following resources within the management infrastructure to create a powerful, scalable virtual environment. The components of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform fall into three categories: physical components, logical components, and resources. Physical components are the objects that occupy physical space in the world and make up a part of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform, and may be thought of as the "hardware" component of the platform. Logical components are the non-physical groupings and processes that enable Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization to provide its functionality, and may be thought of as the "software" component of the platform. Resources are administration tools and devices made available to the administrator by the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform, and may be thought of as the "utilities" provided by the "software" of the logical components, which runs on the "hardware" of the physical components.
