Virtualization has become a major catch phrase being bandied about in the business and IT-oriented media today. Due to an amazingly successful marketing campaign by a major supplier of one type of virtualization technology, the media, consultants and some analysts mistakenly equate virtualization with virtual machine software. In reality, virtualization is far more.
What is it really? Virtualization is the use of hardware and software technology to present a logical view of resources to developers, administrators, operators and system users. This logical view is often strikingly different than the actual physical view.
What does this really mean? System users may see a single physical computer as if it were many different systems running different operating systems and application software. Or they may be presented the view that a group of systems are actually a single computing resource. Other virtualization technology may allow individuals to access computing solutions with devices that didn't exist when developers created an application. It may also present the image that long obsolete devices are available for use in the virtual environment even though none are actually installed.
