Virtualization - Statistics & Facts
A world where a single physical server can transform into multiple devices, each operating independently as virtual machines. Welcome to the world of virtualization, an innovative technology that has redefined the landscape of IT infrastructure and made cloud computing a household term. Virtualization is based on concepts that go back to the 1960s and 1970s but only took off in the 1990s and 2000s, given the increasing demand for computing power. Today, it is standard practice in IT enterprise infrastructure. Virtualization uses software programs to stimulate hardware functionality and create one or more virtual systems.
