2) What is Virtualization?

Virtualization is the creation of the virtual version of a resource usually delivered physically (Hardware or Software). It allows many operating systems and applications to run simultaneously on a single machine, in order to permit the optimal utilization of the Hardware. The Virtualization allows the optimization of resources and permit to fit your specific needs.

A virtual resource consumes less energy, can’t fail, can be easily expanded, is always available and secure.

The resources are part of a virtual dedicated infrastructure that is characterized by dynamic scalability and by costs appropriate to the needs of the Customer and that is always monitored and available.

• PaaS (Platform as a Service): Delivery in remote of the application platform, then of complex solutions, available anywhere, composed of many services and of the tools for their control.
