Once considered black magic, virtualization is everywhere these days. It's quickly becoming the norm for building a dynamic, efficient, and refreshable computing infrastructure, along with cloud computing and grid computing.
There are several methods for virtualization, many of which blur the lines between the itself, the cloud, and the grid. Platform virtualization methods include full virtualization, hardware assisted virtualization, partial virtualization, para-virtualization, and operating system-level virtualization. The platforms in this poll are the industry's better-known virtualization providers.
Next week, I'll be polling the community to see which free, open source virtualization solutions (like KVM and VirtualBox) are most appealing. Some of these solutions provide bare metal virtualization and are used as open cores in platforms like RHEV (KVM) and XenServer (Xen).
