Advanced Virtualization E-Book: Chapter 7 - Network Virtualization: Unifying the Data Center

Virtualization allows IT to organize computing resources into logical pools and then provision them to various workloads without affecting physical hardware devices. And now virtualization is reaching into the network and allowing administrators to consolidate multiple physical LANs into a single logical LAN or carve multiple logical LANs from a single physical LAN. This is particularly important because the network connects storage and servers and sets the stage for virtual infrastructures in the data center. It also potentially heralds a new generation of IT administrators who manage a range of technologies outside of the traditional realm.
