Why do we have data networks, storage networks and management networks (all distinct, I might add). OS virtualization has massively simplified complexity at the software level by abstracting-away the machine-level CPU commands, and has even contributed to simplifying networking between virtual machines.

So, not only can you define a virtual server instantly, you can define a *physical* server (maybe a virtual host, or a physical machine) down to I/O, NICs, Storage and Network. Servers from the industry’s largest vendors were also ruled out since their legacy architectures made virtualization and resource sharing impossible.

For example, at certain peak times it is socially acceptable, in the heart of a city, to do what’s called blocking the box, or basically pulling into the intersection in order to get all the way through.
