Virtualization is a much more efficient way to handle and maintain the network infrastructure because it allows you to allocate resources as needed, have a smaller energy footprint, and manage the network in a very simplified way.

According to an article written by Jang (2010), virtualizing and consolidating existing server nodes into fewer physical nodes, greater network efficiency was achieved. The author displayed this by implementing this into an existing infrastructure and recording the results of the changes with several stress tests done to the new infrastructure. The platform used for this experiment was Xen desktop. (Jang 2010). The author is credible because he holds a doctorate in computer science and is a professor at the Korea advanced Institute of science and technology. He also holds a Masters in computer science with a specialization in P2P, grid computing, network optimization and operating systems. This article is credible because the research is presented as a case study in which they test out the efficiency of the new virtualized infrastructure on one of the main hypervisors used in virtualization technology. The evidence used in this article is relevant and the author’s experimentation is the support that backs up this evidence. The researchers also supported by the Korea science and engineering foundation grant funded by the Korean government. The information is article would be used to highlight the advantages of virtualization in a big network setting.

According to an article written by Chou (2011) a virtual network lab was constructed at East Carolina
