Cloud Information Processing is the presentation of the information sources on the internet by paying on the internet and the pricing. Instead of buying and operating a physical data center, you can access a cloud provider when you need technology services such as information processing power, storage and databases.
Virtualization technology makes cloud information process possible. Cloud providers set up and operate their data centers. They create different virtual environments using basic hardware sources. You can then program your system to access these cloud sources using API. Your infrastructure needs can be met as a fully managed service.
What are different types of virtualization?
You can use virtualization technology to achieve the functions of many different types of physical infrastructure and all the advantages of a virtualized environment. You can go beyond virtual machines to create a virtual resource collection in your virtual environment.
Server virtualization
Server virtualization is a process that divides a physical server into more than one virtual server. It is an efficient and cost -effective way to use server resources and distribute IT services in an organization. The server uses only a small part of the processing capacity without virtualization, which leaves the devices idle.
Storage virtualization
Storage combines the functions of physical storage devices such as virtualization, network -related storage (NAS) and storage space network (San). You can collect the storage equipment in your data center in a pool, even if they are of different sellers or different types. Storage virtualization uses your entire physical data storage area and creates a large virtual storage unit that allows you to assign and control using management software. Since CT managers can combine multiple network storage devices on a single storage device virtually, they can facilitate storage activities such as archiving, backup and rescue.
Network virtualization
Any computer network contains hardware elements such as switches, routers and firewalls. An organization with an office in more than one position can have several different network technologies working together to create its corporate network. Network virtualization is a process that combines all these network resources to centralize management duties. Managers can set and control these elements virtually without touching physical components. This greatly simplifies network management.
Below are two approaches to network virtualization.
Software Definated Network Communication
Software defined network (SDN) controls the routing management from the physical data guidance and controls traffic router. For example, in order to provide consistent search quality at all online meetings, you can program your system to prioritize your video search traffic according to the application traffic.
Network Function Virtualization
Network function virtualization technology combines the functions of network devices such as firewalls, load balancers and traffic analyzers working together to improve network performance.
Data virtualization
Modern organizations collect data from various sources and store them in different ways. They can also store data in different places such as cloud infrastructure and internal data centers. Data virtualization creates a software layer between these data and applications that need data. Data virtualization tools process the data request of an application and present the results in an appropriate format. Thus, organizations use data virtualization solutions to increase flexibility in data integration and to support data analysis between functions.
Application virtualization
Application virtualization reveals the functions of the applications in a way to operate in operating systems other than the operating systems in which they are designed. For example, users can run a Microsoft Windows application on a Linux machine without changing the machine configuration. The following steps are followed in the application virtualization:
Application Flow - Users make the application flow from a remote server, so that the application only works on the end user's device when necessary.
Server -based application virtualization - users can access the remote application from the browser or client interface without the need to install.
Local Application Virtualization - Application Code is sent with its own environment to operate without any changes in all operating systems.
Desktop virtualization
Most organizations have personnel who use desktop operating systems and do not have technical training to run common business applications. For example, you can have a personnel of the following qualifications:
Windows 10 and a customer service team that needs a desktop computer containing customer relationship management software
A marketing team that wants Windows Vista in sales applications
You can use desktop virtualization to run these different desktop operating systems on virtual machines where your teams can remotely access. Such a virtualization saves desktop hardware by making desktop management efficient and safe. The following are desktop virtualization types.
Virtual desktop infrastructure
Virtual desktop infrastructure runs the virtual desktops on a remote server. Your users can access them using client devices.

Local desktop virtualization
In local desktop virtualization, you run a virtual computer with a different operating system by running the hypervor on a local computer. You can switch between applications or you can switch between your local and virtual environment.
