What is Virtualization? Virtualization   is the act of creating a virtual version of something- computer hardware, storage and network. It allows for the distribution of a machine’s capacity among multiple user environments. Traditionally, it was easier and more reliable to run individual tasks on individual servers: a single server hosts a single operating system that runs a single task at a time. With virtualization, one can split independent tasks onto different hardware resources. Hence, hardware resources are utilized to their maximum capacities with multiple tasks . The technology that enables virtualization is called the  hypervisor -  it gives multiple users simultaneous access to perform batch processing. Most enterprises have single-vendor IT stacks that don’t allow their legacy applications to run on a different vendor’s hardware. With virtualization, companies can partition their servers and run multiple operating systems and versi...

Storages are any computing hardware that are used for storing, porting and extracting data files. They can hold temporary and permanent information. Storages  can be internal or external to a computer, server or any similar computing device. There are two different types of storage devices- 1) Primary  storages  : They are smaller in size and used to hold data temporarily and are internal to a computer. They usually include RAM and cache memories 2) Secondary  storages  : They are large storage devices with higher capacity and can store data permanently. They can either be internal or external to a computer and include hard disks, optical disk drive and USB storage device. Routine maintenances are essential to extend the life of storage hardware, and to improve performance. Why do you need an  annual maintenance contract for storage ? Your organization’s needs are changing frequently. As your organization expands, so does the ne...
