What is a Virtualized Network

Network virtualization is a technique of running the multiple networks at the same time and each network performs the different tasks.  Network virtualization is the efficient use of the resources through segmenting a single physical network. Virtual networks are implemented by the virtual routers that are connected with each other with the virtual links.

The high performance network processors have made it possible for the virtual routers to compete with the conventional routers. Cisco systems offer multiple solutions for the virtualized networks by providing the catalyst switches of the 3750, 3560, 4500 and 6500 series.  Cisco offers the solutions for the virtualization of the IT resources.  Through these solutions you can perform the following.
