Virtualization is the most important part before adopting cloud computing solutions as at least for basic IT services deployment of virtualization is important. Virtualization does not seem to always be so easy to adopt in the company, among the factors that hinder there is also a lack of information that stops as much of 37%, 63% fear the start-up costs of the transition to virtualization and among that 41% see virtualization as an doubtful investment.
Virtualization and Cloud Computing
For brands like VMware obviously this is a very important part of the success of cloud computing in the enterprise level is mainly passing the adoption of virtualization technology this for years now but still not perceived by everyone in the enterprise. Virtualization is obviously the essential step for moving to the cloud : it is unthinkable to install private cloud services in the enterprise level without having any virtualized machine and all have to deal with this step, both from the technical point of view, the difficulty to goes from totally physical infrastructure to cloud, both as a matter of mindset and approach: it is unthinkable to provide staff with business, IT and non-cloud tools when they have not yet faced a gradual transition to virtualization.
Virtualization : Essential Before Moving to Cloud Computing
Bigger Companies in the Server arena like Dell, IBM, Fijitsu, HP are typically thinking about the Cloud Computing and Virtualization hardware solutions for Small and Medium Businesses business. HP BladeSystem Matrix integrates all necessary components for Cloud Computing and Virtualization : server storage, network hardware and management software and combine them together in a single housing. Fujitsu has similar Cloud Computing and Virtualization compact housing solution.

The term Virtualization means the creation of a virtual computational resource which normally supplied physically as a hardware platform with an operating system and a storage device or a network resource. The operating system of a computer provides a separation between the physical resources available and their use by the user, through the creation of the logical components to a higher abstraction layer. Virtualization operates a function logically similar, constructing a plurality of logical perspectives on physical resources, each of which can be used to interact with a particular user as needed. Virtualization constructs an isomorphism between the virtual and the real system.
We published a specific article before – Types of Virtualization and Cloud Computing and Their Differences Read more: Types of Virtualization and Cloud Computing and Their Differences. Cloud computing, on the other hand is not really a technology itself, it is a definition of features. You can take Cloud Computing is somewhat reverse of Virtualization from End Users point of view “ several computers are acting as if there is one computer.
