Week 3 – The Data Environment

This week in class we talked about the data environment. The topics we talked about led me to an understanding of the core elements of a data center, as well as built on my understanding of virtualization, and allowed me to  formulate a comprehension on the different types of data storage and how they work.I still think its crazy that in most instances the work many people do on their computers uses all web services which utilize virtualization. Web services and virtualization allow for software and applications to be virtual so that CPU and RAM are mostly not used on a PC. I found our talk about how logical volume works to be particularly interesting and how server virtualization is the future.

Here is a good read from RedHat on virtualization that I learned a lot from.
