Current virtualization technologies are at a single machine level and one or more applications. Person creating a virtual machine must know in advance which application
to virtualize and a set of data associated with the application. This works for small applications, not for large data centers. A large datacenter has petabytes of data and 1000s of applications and 1000s of users. No system/person knows what all runs there. Due to this Datacenters applications failed to leverage Cloud or any remote resources. Application could not be moved easily.
To help large data centers, we need to virtualize at large scale. At complete datacenter level. Virtualization technologies should not need to know upfront which application to virtualize and its data. It should be able to virtualize any application automatically instantly.
At #Spillbox, we virtualize at mega scale transparently. How and why large data centers users are excited about it…in the next blog..
