Virtualization,
Making Sense of the Hype

Previously ‘virtualization’ meant one thing, running multiple operating systems on one computer. At the same time, each OS thought it was the only one that existed.

“Clearly, we're well down the path toward expanding the concept of virtualization beyond virtual operating systems. What's significant is how a whole class of products are about to combine to create a model of enterprise computing that will let us manage I.T. assets from a much higher level of abstraction… what's almost certain is that fewer, more powerful systems will do the work of hundreds of others...

Furthermore, for the first time in industry history, we will be able to separate the deployment of new applications from the purchase of hardware, because hardware will have evolved into a pool of resources that can be accessed on demand...” [1]

Today the idea of virtualization has taken hold of all areas of technology: operating systems, networking, file storage, databases and more recently application availability.
