Starting Right With Virtualization
What is virtualization? It all starts with separating the logical from the physical. Simply put, virtualization lets one physical server act as several different logical machines by using a layer of software called a hypervisor. Though its application with mainframe computers goes back to the 1960s, virtualization is relatively new to Intel® architecture servers. With the benefits of this technology becoming ever more clear, virtualization is enjoying a boom in popularity among companies of all sizes.
