Virtualization Technology: What is it?

Virtualization involves creating a virtual version of a device, such as a server, network, or operating system.

For example, it is considered virtualization to partition a hard drive because you are essentially creating two hard drives, which you are still able to access as though the hard drives remained one resource.

The benefits of virtualization are dramatic, for example:

• Reduce cost. You can reduce your hardware maintenance costs by using more virtual servers than physical servers.
• Increase efficiency. Virtualization allows you to increase the efficiency of your data center, allowing you to store more information.
• Enhance Security. Servers & applications can be separated so that if one is compromised, the others remain intact.

Server Virtualization

Server virtualization involves using a software application, such as Microsoft Virtual Server, to divide a physical server into several virtual servers, sometimes called virtual private servers (this is also possible with a Linux box).

Server users are unable to determine the number and identity of operating systems, processors, and physical servers.

Desktop Virtualization

Desktop virtualization involves maintaining individual desktops on a single computer or server, as long as the users are connected by the internet, a local area network (LAN), or a wide area network (WAN) – or even a cloud computing software application.

Desktop virtualization reduces costs because users can customize and modify their desktops according to their individual needs because resources can be shared as they are needed.

Application Virtualization

Application virtualization involves running software on a virtual server instead of on the user’s computer. Running software from a virtual server will not affect the computer’s registry, file system, or operating system.

Application virtualization saves you money on hardware, software, and licenses, while allowing your network or server to handle large volumes of work.
