Security and Virtualization

virtulization_solutionsVirtualization allows running multiple applications and operating systems independently on a single server. 

Flexibility in the allocation of computing capacity allows the consolidation of applications and servers.

Organizations benefit from significant reductions in server room space and energy consumption. In the end, virtualization makes IT management easier and lowers expenses. 

However flexible, cost effective and easy to use the virtual systems are, they still face the same security issues as physical networks do. 

According to Gartner, Inc., if virtualization is done without implementing best practices for security, it may actually increase costs and reduce agility. Virtualization, as any emerging technology, will easily become the target of new security threats.
