  This article is based on the evolution of the Property Management System. With the ever going usage of PMS just about every sector of the hotel is tied into the PMS. With the PMS communicating with all other sectors of the hotel the business will thus run more efficiently. However, with all things considered it is costly to operate at this level. It also requires a lot of space.
  
  Hotels have adopted the idea of virtulization. The basic concept is that specialized control software allows the physical resources of a single computer server-memory, disk space and computing power-to be divided as needed between several different software applications, each perceived to be running on its own dedicated server. This takes up far less space for equipment allowing companies to reduce equipment purchasing and the energy cost that it takes to power the equipment.
  
  Cloud computing takes virtualization to the next step. Cloud computing takes up no space and is typically ran by a third party vendor. With cloud major equipment upgrades are not necessary as applications may just be implemented. Cloud essentially creates an environment with more technology options for a hotel without the astronomical fees associated with traditional PMS.
