Virtualization Reference Guide
Overview From the time computers became ubiquitous in the business world, IT managers have been trying to find ways to make them more efficient, secure and flexible. As early as the 1960s, engineers at IBM developed a way to partition large mainframes into separate "virtual" machines, essentially carving up the mainframe's resources to make them available for specific workloads. In doing so, those engineers laid the groundwork for what today is known as virtualization — a method of dividing up a computer's resources into multiple environments to create a flexible, easy-touse, easy-to-manage, secure computing environment.
