Network virtualization is a method of combining the available
resources in a network by splitting up the available bandwidth into channels,
each of which is independent from the others, and each of which can be assigned
(or reassigned) to a particular server or device in real time. Each channel is
independently secured. Every subscriber has shared access to all the resources
on the network from a single computer.
Network
management can be a tedious and time-consuming business for a human
administrator. Network virtualization is intended to improve productivity,
efficiency, and job satisfaction of the administrator by performing many of
these tasks automatically, thereby disguising the true complexity of the
network. Files, images, programs, and folders can be centrally managed from a
single physical site. Storage media such as hard drives and tape drives can be
easily added or reassigned. Storage space can be shared or reallocated among
the servers.
Network
virtualization is intended to optimize network speed, reliability, flexibility,
scalability, and security. Network virtualization is said to be especially
effective in networks that experience sudden, large, and unforeseen surges in
usage.
