  Virtualization and Cloud Computing
Time: 00:17 EST/05:17 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Hello, my name is Karl Schulmeisters, director of alliance technology and architecture for the Microsoft global alliance at Unisys.  We are a global systems integrator that focuses on large scale-up solutions particularly in the public sector, financial services, federal government and pharmaceuticals industries.

I watched Monday’s mid-day keynote at the Virtualization Launch in Bellevue, in which Senior VP of Server and Tools, Bob Muglia, spoke and brought a Gartner analyst on stage for an industry view.  The traditional viewpoint of virtualization is that it is driven by cost savings, Green IT and operational efficiency.  But according to Gartner, those are tactical considerations.  Gartner believes that virtualization unlocks Cloud Computing, which in turn fundamentally transforms how IT is run. 

I’m not sure that virtualization itself unlocks Cloud Computing.  Pervasive connectivity and standardized data protocols, like XML, are more crucial to this.  What virtualization lets you do though is to get rid of the issues of app conflicts that have grown out of the PC industry’s history of using dedicated machines for a particular server type.  Essentially it lets you isolate the various application servers as though they were on a separate physical box without having to assume the cost of that separation.
