  Distinguished Lecture - The Impact of Virtualization on Modern Computing Environments  
(Academic)

In this talk I will discuss the problems of modern enterprise computing environments and virtualization, a layer of software inserted between the hardware and the existing software stack, which can address these problems. I will describe how virtualization helps with problems ranging from inefficient hardware utilization and poor power management to high system management costs. In spite of its high compatibility that has allowed it to be initially deployed with limited disruptions, I will argue that virtualization will change commonly held views on the relationship between software and hardware and has the potential of a massive disruption in the computing industry. I will discuss these trends in the context of software distribution models, operating systems, and cloud computing.
