Virtualization is not a completely new technique, and it’s easy to see what you need and don’t need if you just break it down, says IT analyst Dan Kusnetsky. He writes about what he calls the “layers of virtualization.”
Access virtualization, for example, makes it possible for employees in different locations using an array of devices to access applications and databases on disparate network servers, while network virtualization allows IT managers to present different views of the network based on permissions and access levels, which provides greater security and makes technical support easier.
Kusnetzky developed a chart to illustrate the different layers of virtualization that he uses to explain the concept to clients and help them sort out what they need, what they already have (and didn’t realize), and perhaps most important, what they don’t need.
As one can clearly see from the copyright line on the figure you’ve reproduced that the name Kusnetzky is not spelled Kuznetsky. Would you please correct this in the text?
Thank you.

Dan this was rectified. Thank you for catching it.
