What Is Virtualization And Cloud Computing?
Virtualization is an emerging IT paradigm that separates computing functions and technology implementations from physical hardware.
Cloud computing, for example, is the virtualization of computer programs through an internet connection rather than installing applications on every office computer.
Businesses that focus on technology can usually leverage their expertise to utilize efficient computing and IT resources. For the rest of us, that advantage is not the case.
Virtualization firms are specialized companies that can pass on cost savings, know-how, best practices, and energy efficiency to clients. Operating expenses can be lower with cloud computing than an in-house system.
In the above environment, data is spread across multiple sources, leading to duplication, inefficient storage practices, and possible data loss:The email server houses recent and saved files.
Data exists on every user’s hard drive in the form of exchange archive files, or .pst.
On-site backups, such as removable drives, CDs, or dormant hard drives, occupy a good portion of saved data.
Off-site backups for long term data storage can also be far-flung.
Combining, sorting, compressing, and removing duplication within data will provide instant results. Compared to the first scenario, a unified, low cost data structure would look like this:
