Could significantly change the virtual enterprise computing operates. Traditionally, application software with specific servers and storage devices are bundled together. Virtualization technology enables applications and data in a computer or a computer switch, improve system reliability and operating efficiency.
For servers, it enables a single physical computer as the number of virtual computers to run as, it will be able to run application software from one computer to another computer running; virtualization technology enables the storage in different locations equipment as a storage device as running; in communications networks, virtual software can be divided into several layers of a network: a the highest security level for financial transactions, the fastest layer for video transmission.
While virtualization technology is nothing new, but it is rapidly becoming a big market. Sudden acceleration of virtual technology because of hi-tech industry "Holy Grail" pursuit in the late 1990s, high-tech industry thought leaders based transport current as a simple and reliable transmission to the enterprise computing resources. The idea is that companies can outsource their computing tasks, according to use a paid ━ ━ utility computing is also known as the reason. To achieve this vision, high-tech enterprises started to develop virtualization technologies. Facts have proved that, whether for utility computing, virtualization technology is very useful. Many of these technologies are to market, in the storage market, competition is fierce. Market research firm Illuminata Inc. analyst Jonathan said, the virtual technology as a decade ago the Internet. It has become an unstoppable tide.
