Network and Storage Virtulization

There are many types of virtualization- server, network, storage, and more. When people say "virtualization", they are usually referring to server virtualization.

Examples of server virtualization products are:

• VMware Server, Workstation, Player, and ESX Server
• Microsoft Virtual PC and Virtual Server
• Xen
• Virtual Iron
• And more

Virtualization is "a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources". Another definition is “a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of computing resources from the way in which other systems, applications, or end users interact with those resources".

 
This is how storage and virtualization works.  You will be able to access information all over the world.
