What Is Virtualization?

DEFINITION

A virtualization technology creates virtual representations of computing resources like servers, storage, networking and operating systems. This technology enables multiple virtual environments to be hosted on one physical system using a layer of software known as a Hypervisor.

It can benefit organizations by abstracting software environments off of physical hardware so they can make maximum use out of their computing resources. Virtualization has become commonly used within Data Center environments, Cloud Computing, Enterprise IT Infrastructure and Software Development environments.

Importance of Virtualization

  • Better use of Physical Hardware.
  • Lower Infrastructure & Operational Costs.
  • Flexible resource allocation.
  • Easier to manage IT environments and disaster recovery.

Use Cases of Virtualization

  • Multiple virtual machines on one server.
  • Cloud Computing Infrastructure.
  • Isolated Software Testing Environments.
  • Centralize Enterprise Data Center Resources.
