Virtualization

Technorati Tags: ,

The word virtualization is derived from the word virtual, which refers to anything that is not real. As you can see in the world of Information technology, we use this word in multiple ways to denote different things based on what they are used for. Thus, we have VIRTUAL REALITY, which stands for a computer generated immersive environment that is seen/experienced using a computer and its specialized equipment. I have mentioned virtual reality first as it is one of the most exciting uses of virtualization and because it helps to underline the difference between reality that we experience everyday and the virtual reality that is the exact opposite.

Now let us move on and see some other places where we use this process of virtualization.
