It is my great honor to present this post — that was co-authored with Joe Hackman; on the Huffington Post.
Joe — thank-you so very much!
When we think about virtualization we think about industry leaders such as VMware and Citrix. These companies are best known for their server and desktop virtualization. This technology has garnered a great deal of support and acceptance in the Information Technology space. This is primarily due to enhanced security, application management and hardware replacement savings. Over the past few years there has been a slow and gradual adoption — that has been nurtured by Open Kernel Labs — mobile virtualization.
Over the past few years virtualization technology has proven itself as a valuable and green technology. What is virtualization technology? Simply stated virtualization software provides a platform that allows multiple instances of other environments/operating systems to operate simultaneously on one physical device (usually servers). Since most of the time most servers use only a fraction of the available resources this allows a much better overall utilization of the most important resource – electricity. It also equates to cooler server rooms that are doing the same job with less physical machines. It is therefore reasonable that this technology could be used in other environments and why not mobile?
While really only scratching the surface here of what is really an impressive and exciting technology this should serve as a good primer into some of the benefits it offers. Since there are benefits for OEMS, wholesalers, providers, businesses and consumers alike it is likely that this technology will continue to proliferate in the marketplace.
