15. What Is Virtualization? Virtual Profiles Personal profiles/settings separate from OS Virtual Storage Storage and backup over the network Virtual Network Localizing dispersed resources Virtual Machine OS can be assigned to any desktop or server Interface bound to process Storage assigned to specific locations Network assigned to specific locations Operating System assigned to specific hardware Applications installed to Specific hardware and OS Without VirtualizationWith VirtualizationVirtualization Issues InfrastructureInfrastructure ManagementManagement LicensingLicensing InteroperabilityInteroperability SupportSupport Virtual Applications Any application on any computer on-demand Personal profiles and settings bound to OS Virtual Presentation Presentation layer separate from process Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from others

16. Why Virtualize? “Why is virtualization such a big deal? A lot of people understand, and they think it's about saving money, it's about saving power, it's about green IT, it's about space, and that's certainly true. But in our perspective, it's much, much bigger than that, and people are just now beginning to understand that. We think that there's a major transformation taking place in IT. This major transformation that's been taking place for years is starting to accelerate, and we believe that virtualization is a major enabler and catalyst of that transition that's taking place.” - Tom Bittman, Gartner VP and Chief of Research of Infrastructure and Operations, at Microsoft’s Virtualization Launch Event
