Since this weeks assignment is on virtual computing, I guess it would be a good time to blog about it. Virtualization was first created in the 1960's to partition large mainframe hardware. In the 1990's, VMware created virtualization for the x86 platform. VMware is currently the global giant in the x86 architecture virtualization. The reasoning behind using virtualization on the x86 platform was to help the underutilization of the infrastructure. Also the cost for maintaining or even expanding the physical infrastructure was rapidly increasing. Virtualization would take care of the need to upgrade the mainframe. Thus cutting business expenses and adding a ton of new possibilities for the infrastructure.
