Autonomic & Utility Computing

Green - carbon footprints, Shield - unplanned downtime, Continuity - Disasters

Virtualization can be viewed as part of an overall trend in enterprise IT that includes autonomic computing, a scenario in which the IT environment will be able to manage itself based on perceived activity, and utility computing, in which computer processing power is seen as a utility that clients can pay for only as needed. The usual goal of Virtualization is to centralize administrative tasks while improving scalability and work loads.Virtulization gives you wings to do more of your IT investment and break free from the conventional model of "One App to One Server" approach.

In 2005, Virtualization software was adopted faster than anyone imagined, including the experts. There are three areas of IT where Virtualization is making head roads, Application Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization and Server Virtualization:

• Application Virtualization is a term used to describe software technologies which improve compatibility, manageability and portability of various applications by covering/ shielding them from an underlying operating system where the program is being executed.

• Desktop Virtualization (sometimes called Client Virtualization), as a concept, separates a personal computer desktop environment from a physical machine using a client–server model of computing. The model stores the resulting "virtualized" desktop on a remote central server, instead of on the local storage of a remote client; thus, when users work from their remote desktop client, all of the programs, applications, processes, and data used are kept and run centrally.

• Server Virtualization is the masking of server resources (including the number and identity of individual physical servers, processors, and operating systems) from server users. The intention is to spare the user from having to understand and manage complicated details of server resources while increasing resource sharing and utilization and maintaining the capacity to expand later.
