This appears to be a new term, but it describes one aspect of MySmartChannels.

Infoworld recently had this to say about hardware virtualization... <blockquote> From an IT hardware perspective, today the unit of work is the box, and you manage the box. But the reality is no one has great joy in managing boxes. They usually prefer to manage workloads or applications. So the way to think about it is: The unit of work is no longer the box; the unit of work is the object, the workload. And what you do is you move that workload into a virtual environment so you can allocate it however you want. </blockquote> This is an emerging concept involving all sorts of resources including information objects, payment systems, and consumption models. I believe information systems are quickly moving towards greater atomization and unique addressability of objects through Web services. This is precisely one of the capabilities that MySmartChannels brings to the IT dining table. 10 application/xml false atomization Infoworld terminology virtualization Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/530.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/2.0.172.28 Safari/530.5 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 $Admin 67.172.146.66 false true false false true 190014 false false true false false false true 214 blog blogsite/MySTHome/web
