On premises system dis-adv (Space Hardware & costly, Need large IT team, Pwer supply, Down time and high availability issues , No fully utilization of physical hardware)

Vitrualiation - Virtualization allow to divide physical hardware into multiples logical unit. We can creats multiples VM, can increase RAM, CPU, HD.

Two types of virtualization (1. desktop based that need OS, like VMware virtal pc - Hiper-v) (2. No need OS can intsall Directly on hardware, ESXI, Citirix)

Firmware is specialized, low-level software embedded directly into hardware devices, providing essential instructions on how the device operates, communicates, and functions.

On demand delivery of computer resources over intenet.

Advantage - no space required, no hardware, no large IT team, High availability in anywhere in world, low cost according to use as compare to on premises. Resources ( RAM, CPU, HD) can be increase.

Disadv - Can not be use without internet, require money.
