'Virtualization' is a latest technology which is use to decrease our needs like money and hardware resources in a company platform. Virtualization is the creation of a virtual network (rather than actual) version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device or network resources.
Operating system virtualization is the use of software to allow a piece of hardware to run multiple operating system images at the same time. The technology got its start on mainframes decades ago, allowing administrator to avoid wasting expensive processing power.
4 minute video by Senior director of VMWare Company:
VMWare is a leading company in the field of virtualization.
In 2005, virtulization software was adopted faster than anyone imagined, including the experts. There are three major areas of IT where virtulaization is leading in the industry:
1. Network Virtulization:
Network virtualization is a method of combining the available resources in a network by splitting up the available bandwidth into channels, each of which is independent from the others, and each of which can be assigned to a particular server or device. Here the idea of virtualization is that to decrease the complexity of the network by separating it into manageable parts, much like your partitioned hard drives which make your work easy to manage your files.
2. Storage Virtualization:
Storage Virtuazlization is commonly used in Storage Area Networks (SANs) in this virtualization the pooling of physical storage from multiple network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device that is manage from a central console.
3. Server Virtualization:
Server virtualization is partitioning of a physical server into smaller virtual server by using some softwares.
This virtualization has several benefits. For examples each virtual server run its own operating system and each virtual server is independently rebooted . Server virtualization also reduces costs because less hardware is required.

This field is not limited, a lot of work is remaining in this field. So start thinking from now itself.
