Data Virtualization Primer - Introduction

This week we are starting the Data Virtualization Primer which I am splitting into 3 series - The Basics, The Connectors and the Solutions.  My goal is to publish one or two articles a week, each one covering a topic that can be reviewed in a short amount of time.  Demos and examples will be included and some of the topics will be broken into multiple parts to help easily digest them.  The planned outline is below as well as our first topic which is Data Virtualization Introduction.
