What is virtualization all about?

Virtualization allows running multiple applications and operating systems independently on a single server. Flexibility in the allocation of computing capacity allows the consolidation of applications and servers.

Organizations benefit from significant reductions in server room space and energy consumption. In the end, virtualization makes IT management easier and lowers expenses.

Regardless of how flexible, cost effective and easy to use virtualized systems the systems virtualization are, they still face the same security issues as physical networks do. Virtualization, as any emerging technology, will also easily become the target of new security threats.

Whether virtualization is done without implementing best practices for security, according to Gartner Inc., it may actually increase costs and reduce agility. Virtualization, as any emerging technology, will easily become the target of new security threats.
