The need to improve procedures and increase productivity is the driving force behind business. When a company wants or needs to make these changes to stay alive in a competitive economy they often look towards virtualization. This however is not an “easy” button and while the benefits usually outweigh the cost, there are drawbacks to this technology. It is the CIO’s and CEO’s responsibility to understand what product to use and when and how to use it What is Virtualization? Virtualization is a software utilized by multiple industries to improve production and efficiency of their business. A recent survey suggests that of businesses operating in the United States 69% of them have in the past or are currently using some application of virtualization. Controlling well over half of our nations businesses Virtualization plays a crucial role in the future sustainability of our country. Why is virtualization important? Virtualization represents the very core of business and society today. We live in a digital age, we shop, socialize, bank, and do business all via the internet. Virtualization is a crucial tool implemented by business to safeguard their data from threats, and data losses. Virtualization ensures the businesses ability to use any and all operating systems to continue daily business operations. The world corporate structure continues to evolve, and new threats to data, and personal information, virtualization will be ready to protect data critical to their business. Virtualization is difficult to define, as it is ever changing to adapt to new threats and business demands. There are a several different types of virtualization, and there is a generic definition that includes all they as a generic software. The basic def... ... middle of paper ... ...ficiently. The person or persons, in charge need to understand the importance and the problems that may arise while using and implementing virtualization. They need to be able to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of their employees, and know the abilities of their employees to operate the system they plan to implement. In conclusion, virtualization is an extremely important factor in business today. Without this piece of the technology processes would not flow as easily as they do. Energy would not be saved, and instead it would wasted while servers operating below capacity struggle to keep up with the demands of the networks they support. While most experts would agree that this technology is extremely mature, is doesn’t reduce the need or benefit that it produces. Having the right technology, and the people to use it, can easy make or break a company.
Workers are also not being used to their full potential as the majority of the IT budget is going towards them to maintain the current system that they have in place. Carr determines that these problems can be fixed with relative ease by combining three different technologies, Web services, virtualization, and grid computing. The combination will allow for less technology to be wasted and processing power to be used to its full capacity. He tells the reader, this is what the individual will have to do to advance the information technology environment to its fullest potential and continues by listing examples of some of the possible corporations and sources from where this individual could come from, including big computing hardware contributors, information technology hosting operations, an internet extraordinaire and new start up innovators. He concludes the article by pointing out that as dubious as this may be, many other innovations similar to this started the same way and people should not fear to take action on this opportunity, as it will better humanity. I believe that the article provides some good points as it shows us that the
Virtualization is a technology that creates an abstract version of a complete operating environment including a processor, memory, storage, network links, and a display entirely in software. Because the resulting runtime environment is completely software based, the software produces what’s called a virtual computer or a virtual machine (M.O., 2012). To simplify, virtualization is the process of running multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine. The virtual machines share the resources of one physical computer, and each virtual machine is its own environment.
In this case I recommend for two types of virtualization in case of Regional garden limited company....
The budgets for IT projects at VWoA were controlled through a process that involves several organizational entities that establish priorities. There are four specific teams involved in this process: the ELT (Executive Leadership Team), the ITSC (IT Steering Committee), the PMO (Project Management Office), and the DBC (Digital Business Council.) The ELT is responsible for executing the NRG (Next Round of Growth) strategy in which the IT governance is a part. The ITSC consists of business and IT managers and is responsible for guiding and approving the process of IT project selection and prioritization. The PMO administers the project proposal and approval process. The DBC is responsible for the project filtering process, which decides which projects are most in line with the company’s business strategy.
A process is a running program, one of the more important things about creating the illusion of virtualization is the speed at which the operating systems will change from one service to another or from one operation to another. Time-sharing is essentially the sequential ordering of instructions, in such a way that it appears each process vying for CPU time is running.

An employee’s position at CyberTech is considered to be of primary importance over any outside employment. Furthermore, employees are expected to devote their full attention and energy to CyberTech while on the job.
Cloud computing is able to increase the speed of business. Cloud computing offers the speed to make computing resources on an instance basis, not just need to first survey time and skilled resources in design and implement infrastructure and applications to deploy and test it. Cloud computing can engance revenue, share bigger market, or other advantages.
Convey Values - Values should be considered collective, therefore influencing the whole business. Nevertheless, the IT manager should seek for places where this is not the case, and provide assistance to IT employees on how to effectively address it.

The virtual organization is a network of independent suppliers, customers, and even competitors, generally tied together by computer technology (Roger, 1991). They share skills, costs, and access to markets. It is tend to have flat structures in which information and decision making move horizontally (Judith R.G, 2002). Through the support of modern electronic system, it becomes possible to link people across formal organizational boundaries (Judith, 2002, quoted in S.G. Straus, S.P. Weisband, and J.M. Wilson, 1998).
Virtualization technologies provide isolation of operating systems from hardware. This separation enables hardware resource sharing. With virtualization, a system pretends to be two or more of the same system [23]. Most modern operating systems contain a simplified system of virtualization. Each running process is able to act as if it is the only thing running. The CPUs and memory are virtualized. If a process tries to consume all of the CPU, a modern operating system will pre-empt it and allow others their fair share. Similarly, a running process typically has its own virtual address space that the operating system maps to physical memory to give the process the illusion that it is the only user of RAM.
The fundamental idea behind a virtual machine is to remove the hardware of a single computer and make it a self-contained operating environment that behaves as it is a separate computer. Essentially, the virtual machine is software that executes an application and isolates it from the actual operating system and hardware. CPU scheduling and virtual-memory techniques are used so that an operating system can create the illusion that a process has its own processor with its own (virtual) memory. The virtual machine provides the ability to share the same hardware yet run several different operating systems concurrently, as shown in Figure 2-11.
