The virtualization of the physical device helps in increasing the utilization of the resources by
creating a virtual version of the resources and resources. With the creation of virtual view of
resources of the computer a server can be turned into a host for other server groups for sharing
the same resources with the same group (Zhou et al., 2015). It also helps in eliminating the need
of extra cabling, hardware, Server room space and reducing the overhead IT cost and
management cost in the network. The following four situation are described for the virtualization
of the system:
 Virtualization for relying on the technology – Since the organization needs technology

The virtualization of the servers can help in improving the productivity and performance
of the application and maintain a balance between the user requirement and resource utilization.
Virtualization can be solution for the business which is expected to have a recent growth in the
organization without affecting the management and operation cost of the network device. The
