Analyzing Virtualization for Verbania: Benefits and Security

This discussion board post explores the concept of virtualization and its potential benefits for Verbania's IT infrastructure. It addresses the perception of virtualization as the 'holy grail' of IT by highlighting its ability to enable fast checks, reduce costs, and minimize errors. The post details how virtualization can assist Verbania by enabling physical host systems from virtualized machines and simplifying service identification. It also emphasizes key security considerations, such as securing virtual hard disks and reducing attack surfaces. A comparison between virtualization and cloud computing is provided, noting virtualization's role in delivering simulated environments versus cloud computing's broader approach to providing IT resources over a network. Ultimately, the post recommends virtualization for Verbania, citing its potential to support the organization's IT needs, including software, hardware, security, and networking, particularly for its core mobile application and website products, and to ensure enduring future internet trends.

Virtualization
Virtualization enables fast checks with the significant validation points and business
users. This means less waste of cost and time and fewer errors. Virtualization is cultural
change. Virtualization has the organizational aspects as well as the technological aspects.
Customers look for much more hypothesis and analysis, however this could be addresses
quite simply by virtual data’s logical layer. Hence, virtualization is Holy Grail of IT.
Virtualization would help Verbania by fact that this would enable for physical host
systems from all other machines that are virtualized. Virtualization enable representation of
single files as one could identify services easily which are provided. Virtualization would
help Verbania by reducing costs in many ways.
There are several security considerations of virtualization which should be
considered. These security considerations are securing hard disks that are virtual, reducing
hosts’ attack surface, involving personnel of information security throughout lifecycle,
classifying the virtual machines and segment the traffic for storage and administration
(Amoroso, 2017).
Virtualization is a technology which allows in creating several dedicated resources
simulated environments from physical, single hardware system, whereas cloud computing is
set of approaches and principles for delivering compute, platforms, network, services,
applications and infrastructure resources to the user over any network.
Virtualization could help Verbania as the organization is looking for complete IT
solution which consists of software, hardware, security and networking. Core product of
Verbania would be mobile application and website (Yang, et. al., 2017). Virtualization would
help Verbania for enduring future trends of internet. Hence, virtualization is recommended to
Verbania.
