Virtualization & Cloud Computing

Virtualization and Cloud Computing is a short term exhaustive summer internship program with
International Certification by Robotics & Computer Application Society of California – USA.

This internship opportunity is the one and only chance for CSE, CE, IT, BCA, MCA, BSc-IT students to
get acquainted with the emerging fields and applications of Virtualization and Cloud Computing.

Virtualization, in computing, is the creation of a virtual version of something, such as a hardware

platform, operating system, a storage device or network resources.

Virtualization can be viewed as part of an overall trend in enterprise IT that includes autonomic
computing, a scenario in which the IT environment will be able to manage itself based on utility
computing. The usual goal of virtualization is to centralize administrative tasks while improving
scalability and work load.

Cloud Computing involves aggregation of multiple computing, storage and network resources
into a single entity called “cloud”; into which location-independent computing is performed.

Cloud computing is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, service-oriented

architecture and utility computing.
