Private or public, the goal of cloud computing is to provide easy, scalable access to computing resources and IT services. Virtualization on the other hand is a technique of how to separate a service from the underlying physical systems. It involves using specialized software to create a virtual or software-created version of a computing resource rather than the actual version of the same resource. With the help of Virtuali...
