Why do we need this Cloud? Part 2

Friday, May 14, 2010 by Sam Newberry
Another reason Cloud Services is so attractive is that it leverages Server Virtualization Services and Virtual Network Services.  The concept is simple: In physical legacy infrastructures the hardware is available only to or what I like to call "married to" the software.  In a virtual environment utilizing shared storage, servers (or hosts) are pooled together and the software is virtually mapped to the pool of virtual storage and server hosts.  If a host is lost, no problem, the virtualization services automatically and quickly remap the application to another host in the pool.  And this makes Disaster Recovery preparation for Business Continuity a dream.  Why?  Well, I'm glad you asked! Tune in for my next blog discussing the advantages of Virtualization Services to Disaster Recovery Preparation.

Go Cloud!
