Building and maintaining effective cloud computing infrastructures

June 13, 2018

Cloud computing holds great promise as the next leap in efficiency for enterprise computing. Primarily enabled by server, storage, and network virtualization, cloud computing allows businesses to dynamically allocate and assign computing resources from across the company’s assets to where the resources are most needed. This practice promises to cut hardware and software acquisition costs significantly and can have a tremendous savings in energy expenditures as well. With cloud computing, users access data and applications as they always have – but these data and applications may reside anywhere within the company’s cloud.

Virtualization Defined - Eight Different Ways

whitePaper | October 4, 2021

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.
