Combined technology analysis of cloud computing and virtualization

[Guide] In today's marketplace, customers need a variety of flexible infrastructures and solutions to quickly adapt to changing business needs. Cloud computing (the delivery of services) and virtualization (the main enabling technology) provide customers with more and more business agility through efficient use of funds or various it-related resources.

Virtualization is fundamentally about making the most of technology assets. The key to getting the return on investment and all the potential of a virtualized infrastructure is to use the right resources on a regular basis and to achieve end-to-end virtualization in a coordinated manner, at the right time, with flexibility and speed.

Virtualization technology helps companies increase ROI and increase utilization by more than 70%. So far, many businesses have focused on server virtualization. In fact, the return on investment generated by the integration infrastructure for storage, networking, and management virtualization is often greater. For example, because of poor storage management or inefficiency, the advantages of server virtualization can not be realized in real sense.

To achieve the real benefits of fusing infrastructure, we need a variety of storage solutions that are easy to support data extensions and that are closely aligned with business applications. A storage infrastructure with virtualization technology can help improve device usage by nearly one time, while reducing management costs, sometimes half the cost. As a result, each enterprise should proactively use virtualization technology to take full advantage of its benefits.

Cloud computing, on the other hand, provides users with access to a wide range of highly scalable, flexible IT resources, on demand, and paid for using. Cloud computing is a "everything services" model that provides services on the Web or in the cloud.

Cloud-based storage products are gradually changing the way companies manage large amounts of data. For businesses that want the best returns from these products, the hardware infrastructure requires that the servers and storage be designed entirely based on the ability to provide scalability, reliability, and flexibility.

While cloud computing and virtualization are not bundled technologies, they can still work and complement each other. Cloud computing interacts with virtualization, cloud computing solutions rely on and leverage virtualization to deliver services, and companies that have not yet deployed cloud computing solutions can still leverage End-to-end virtualization to gain better ROI and profitability from their internal infrastructure.

For example, to provide the "on-demand, pay-per-use" service model, cloud-computing providers must take advantage of virtualization technologies. Because virtualization alone makes it possible for them to have a flexible infrastructure to provide the flexibility required for end users, this applies to external (public or shared cloud) vendors and internal (private cloud) vendors.

For many companies, the initial use of cloud computing may be a bit worrisome, requiring some support. Many companies now offer customers a lot of cloud resources and training, such as HP's seminars, to help companies develop their own cloud computing methods and find the best way to leverage technology, including providing cloud services, providing cloud service resources or deploying private cloud computing infrastructure.

For those who want to deploy more effective solutions and vendors who want to create a large cloud solution, a fully integrated infrastructure is undoubtedly the best choice, and the infrastructure provides users with a technology environment that can quickly adapt to changing needs.
