virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or network resources. In a virtualized environment, computing environments can be produced in a forceful dynamic manner, enlarged, become smaller or go in a specified direction or manner as demand varies. Virtualization is therefore highly suitable to a dynamic cloud infrastructure, because it provides important advantages in isolation, manageability and sharing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
