THE SHIFT TO SERVER VIRTUALIZATION
Of all the innovations in server technology over the last 10 years, in my view virtualization has
had the biggest impact, and made the biggest improvements, to server computing. Although
64-bit architectures, multi-core processors, and solid-state drives have revolutionized their
niches of the industry, only virtualization has fundamentally changed the way we can choose
to deploy, manage, and protect server workloads.
