An Overview of Virtualization Technology

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-to-play-with-your-toys dept.

Jane Walker writes to tell us that TechTarget has a short writeup on virtualization and some of the ins and outs of using this technology effectively. From the article: "Virtualization is a hot topic in the enterprise space these days. It's being touted as the solution to every problem from server proliferation to CPU underutilization to application isolation. While the technology does indeed have many benefits, it's not without drawbacks."

    Seriously, how did this make it on /.? The article is only a few paragraphs long, doesn't really even touch on hardware virtualization support or why its necessary...

    I have to agree. Compared to most Slashdot articles, this one really sucks. It's not an obvious advertisement or media troll, the article mistakes are fairly minimal, it has nothing to do with AJAX, Web 2.0, or the Sony Playstation, and there's no obvious "Microsoft $ux0rs!" response.

    I wish Slashdot would stop posting crappy articles, and go back to what it does best -- posting dupes, broken links, April Fools jokes, lame blogs, psuedo-science, and Register articles.
