A few years ago, many people saw virtualization as a nice way to run an Operating System on top of another. Although this was certainly the most obvious use of the technology, it has become only a part of the larger picture of virtual infrastructure: the continued increase of computing power enables organizations to integrate multiple servers on a single physical system. The strong isolation that a virtual environment provides can ensure that the level of security of virtual severs is analogous to that offered by the execution of these servers in different physical systems. Moreover, the interesting features that virtualization provides, such as the ability to store the virtual machine's state as well as the live migration of a virtual machine, enhance the security and the usability of a virtual environment. Finally, the server consolidation in a virtual environment running in a single physical maciine can drastically reduce the power consumption contributing in a greener planet.
