Virtualization

Jeff Ryan leveraged WhatsUp Gold to develop an innovative and effective remote learning solution for the over 2500 students, faculty and staff of the Danville Area School District

The idea for server virtualization technology was originally conceived as a means to reduce costs through software consolidation. Looking back it seems like a pretty obvious solution, but at the time this was revelatory. Instead of running each individual workload on a separate physical server, unused hardware capacity was now able to be used to run a number of workloads at the same time as virtual machines.

Virtualization has become nearly ubiquitous in business as a way to cut IT expenses, enhance security, and increase operational efficiency.

Virtualization is becoming more and more popular among IT communities, and with good reason. But that popularity will require a greater level of vigilance as well.

Interesting thing virtualization, everyone is talking about it and lots of IT professionals are investigating it and quite a few are implementing it.
