The other night I was invited to a dinner party where everyone there worked in IT. The word of the night was
Virtualization. Since I didn`t have any idea as to what vitualization meant I needed to come home and read up on it since this seems to be very important in the IT world.
Virtualization is rapidly changing the IT landscape and changing the way people use computer technology.
Virtualization allows you to run multiple virtual computers on one single computer sharing the resources of one machine across multiple environments. This allows for different systems and multple applications to run on the same computer. Something I found out that very interesting was you can allow your Mac to run Windows creating a virtual PC environment for all Windows applications. What a solution for people who work together on two different systems. Another added `green` benefit is that you are utilising much less electricity and using less materials thereby creating less waste as one computer can now operate as six computers. I think
Virtualization will be the way of the future as our society needs to create smart solutions which in the end will use less material and waste and still operating efficiently.
