The Real (and Virtual) Adventures of Nathan the IT Guy » virtualization for dummies http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/information-technology Tue, 21 May 2013 19:15:30 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Virtualization in General http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/information-technology/virtualization-in-general/ http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/information-technology/virtualization-in-general/#comments Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:09:56 +0000 Nathan Simon http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/information-technology/virtualization-in-general/ Hey there folks, well I know 80% of the worlds population have an idea of what virtualization is, what it does, and why we all should get on the bandwagon… but there are some out there that still do not have a clue what VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix are doing with virtualization. Since there are those with questions, I thought I would provide some links for those people.

The first link I am providing is from one of my favorite resources in the world. Petri IT Knowledgebase by Daniel Petri, I wont get into why this is an important resource as many of my readers will already know. The link is for an article that David Davis wrote about Server Virtualization, here’s an insert from the beginning of the article…

“There are many types of virtualization- server, network, storage, and more. In this article, we will demystify these complex terms, explain what they can do for you, and name specific products that provide these functions. So prepare for the smoke to be cleared…” read the rest here.

The second link is a to a video that might be helpful to some readers, and maybe a waste of 3 minutes for some, hey at least its only 3 minutes! “Information Technology Explained in 3 Minutes of Less : What is Virtualization” check it out here.

Anyways, if I help shed some light on virtualization for at least a couple people I’ll be happy! :)
