Summary
Traditional data centers are commonly filled with large numbers of servers that require a tremendous amount of time and money to maintain. Today you can “virtualize” the hardware resources such as CPU, RAM, hard disk and network controller, to create a fully functional virtual machine that can run its own operating system and applications. Each virtual machine contains a complete system, eliminating potential conflicts. Businesses today are using Virtualization to optimize, simplify and manage their Information Technology infrastructure. In this class we will go over the fundamentals of Virtualization technology and the benefits of deploying Virtualization across the enterprise. We will cover different Virtualization platforms available on the market today and will look into different aspects of the Virtualization technology.
