Virtualization as a concept is not new; computational environment virtualization has been around since the first mainframe systems. But recently, the term “virtualization” has become ubiquitous, representing any type of process obfuscation where a process is somehow removed from its physical operating environment. Because of this ambiguity, virtualization can almost be applied to any and all parts of an IT infrastructure. For example, mobile device emulators are a form of virtualization because the hardware platform normally required to run the mobile operating system has been emulated, removing the OS binding from the hardware it was written for. But this is just one example of one type of virtualization; there are many defi nitions of the term “virtualization” fl oating around in the current lexicon, and all (or at least most) of them are correct, which can be quite confusing.

This has served to increase reliance on multiple cloud platforms, making connectivity more important than ever. This, however, has also led to an increase in the number of threats and attacks. For this reason, businesses are strongly advised to transform their WANs and security architectures

Virtualization addresses IT’s most pressing challenge: the infrastructure sprawl that compels IT departments to channel 70 percent of their budget into maintenance, leaving scant resources for business-building innovation. The difficulty stems from the architecture of today’s x86 computers: they’re designed to run just one operating system (OS) and application at a time. As a result, even small data centers must deploy many servers, each operating at just 5–15 percent of capacity—highly inefficient by any standard.

Companies are choosing to deploy apps and consume services on the clouds that best suit their business objectives. This model, known as multi-cloud, uses two or more public clouds, two or more private clouds, or a combination of public, private and edge clouds to distribute applications and services. Multi-cloud strategies offer several advantages, from increased resiliency and agility to data sovereignty. A key benefit is that organizations can leverage a specific cloud provider’s bespoke capabilities and services to further transform their application stacks.
