The Beauty of Virtualization
One
of the newest computer technologies is virtualization. Virtualization is a
technology with an endless number of
uses. Virtualization allows a single machine to act as if it were many
machines. You are able to create a
virtual version of an operating system, server, website, or even a specific
computer environment for training purposes. Organizations are able to reduce
power consumption, air conditioning needs, costs, and actual physical space.
The rapid changing business demands can be simplified using virtualization.
Applying applications and updates increases the response time for rapidly
changing business demands. Many new operating systems and hardware have built
in support.
Virtualization’s
flexibility is a trait which makes it very appealing to a wide demographic. The
technology allows multiple operating systems on one system. For example, if a
user on a Macbook needs to run a program only compatible with Windows, they are
able to install a virtual Windows environment and access the program that way. A
business can train their employees on a exact production environment without
the fear of irreversibly damaging something. Virtualization is a technology
that can be implemented in an array of ways, it’s here to stay.
