Virtualization is one of those IT buzzwords being thrown around the industry more and more lately, and unfortunately, it can have so many different meanings that it needs to be put into better context when discussed by so many different people. It was only about four years ago that the topic of virtualization itself was

thought of as some obscure, black art technology that only a handful of peoplecared about, and yet today, it is thought of as a mainstream “must have” technology for any IT organization. Server virtualization technology is a way of making a physical computer function as if it were two or more computers where each non-physical or “virtualized” computer is provided with the same basic architecture as that of a generic physical computer.

The authors present surprising new ways of using virtualization to accomplish tasks now performed at the physical level. All areas of business are examined, with text that features technical information and best practices, including business challenges and technology breakdowns to expedite effective allocation of time and resources.
