Cloud Computing and Virtualization Process

Question: Discuss about the Cloud Computing and Virtualization Process. Answer: Introduction: The advancement of the virtualization technology would help the cloud-computing sector to provide its service to the user at low rate with decreasing their operational cost. The virtualization of the computer resources like server based, storage based, system based or network based would allow the service providers to meet the growing demand (Oludele et al. 2014). The virtualization allows running different virtual machines on a physical system and integrating the resources to form a single machine. The virtualization reduces the cost of additional hardware and complexity, which increases with the implementation of the physical systems. In future, it is expected that there would be an increase in the number of mobile users and web enabled things that would consume a larger resource and without using the virtualization technology, the demand cannot be met. With the advancement of the cloud computing the cloud service is expected to be available to the users at a low rate and without virtualization it is not possible. The advancement of the virtualization technology had helped to alter the market of the cloud computing. Cloud computing provides service for meeting the requirement of the large hosting infrastructures and it acts as a main source of the computing in future (Jain and Paul 2013). There is a need to reduce the service cost for accommodating more number of users and thus virtualization technology is needed to be applied. With the application of the virtualization technology, small physical servers are united to form a larger server and utilize the resource efficiently. References Jain, R. and Paul, S., 2013.
