It's progress init 2!

A couple of months ago I was made to attend a computer seminar. I try to avoid these things as they are normally snoozefests but in this case my boss ordered me to attend. The theme of this conference was trying to better manage some of the complexity of modern IT. Amongst 6 major themes pushed by the conference one was virtualisation.

In laymans terms virtualisation means replacing many physical servers - currently clogging up your data centres - with a big server and then through the magic of 21st century software hosting lots of virtual servers on the single box.

If only sombody thought of this forty odd years ago we could have saved ourselves a lot of effort. Now what did I put that VM manual again?
