What’s DB Virtualization?

Database virtualization masks the physical location of a database from query programs, simplifying management, speeding up access, and reducing maintenance costs. Virtualized databases can exist on multiple computers and software types, with a virtualization layer controlling queries. Users benefit from faster access and reduced downtime, while administrators benefit from easy maintenance and automatic backup and […]

What’s Virtualization Software?

Virtualization software creates a system within a system to share resources, tricking programs into thinking they are on a dedicated machine. It allows for multiple operating systems, mini computer labs, and web hosting. Businesses can save costs by utilizing available resources and reducing the number of servers needed. It can also be used at home […]

What’s hardware virtualization?

Hardware virtualization allows a processor to act as multiple computers, running different operating systems and allowing multiple users to access the processor. It has logistical and financial benefits but also practical limitations, including the need for dedicated software and dividing the chip’s maximum processing power among users. Both Intel and AMD have their own hardware […]

Client Virtualization: What is it?

Virtualization creates a simulated version of a computing resource, such as server, application, or desktop. Client virtualization separates the desktop from hardware, OS, and applications, allowing users to access their desktops from any device. Virtualization reduces hardware costs, simplifies software updates, and benefits the environment. It enables flexible, secure, and highly available access to critical […]

Best virtualization strategy: how to choose?

Virtualization makes computer hardware appear more capable than it is. To choose the best strategy, consider the number of servers, budget, and resource control. Virtualization can replace many servers with a few large ones, or use cloud computing for low cost but less control. Cloud computing may become robust enough for mission-critical applications, but it’s […]

Types of virtualization technology?

Virtualization technology creates a separation between hardware and software, allowing for simulated computing resources. Server, desktop, storage, data, application, and network virtualization reduce costs and improve efficiency while providing security. Virtualization is a term used to describe a variety of computer technologies. Virtualization technology enhances and extends an organization’s computing resources by creating a separation […]

Advantages of virtualization?

Virtualization reduces hardware costs and space requirements by consolidating servers. It allows for flexible application and operating system use on a single machine, making outsourcing more cost-effective. Virtualization also simplifies product testing and application deployment, saving time and resources. In computing, the benefits of virtualization are usually primarily cost savings. For many businesses, the biggest […]

What’s System Virtualization?

Virtualization can refer to computer or operating system virtualization, both of which use software to emulate a hardware computer system. Virtualization technology has been around since the 1960s but has only recently taken off due to increased computing power. Virtual computers can be servers or desktop workstations and operate as independent machines. Operating system virtualization […]

What’s CPU Virtualization?

CPU virtualization allows one CPU to function as two separate CPUs, enabling the running of multiple operating systems or allowing multiple users to share a single computer. It is not the same as multitasking or hyperthreading. CPU virtualization expects a single CPU to behave as if they were two separate CPUs. In effect, it’s like […]
