Virtualization

Virtualization is a technology that allows multiple virtual instances of computing resources, like operating systems or servers, to run on a single physical machine. By abstracting hardware resources, virtualization improves efficiency, reduces costs, and enhances flexibility. It enables organizations to consolidate workloads, optimize resource utilization, and isolate applications for better security. Popular types include server virtualization, desktop virtualization, and network virtualization. Tools like VMware and Hyper-V are commonly used to create and manage virtual environments. Overall, virtualization helps in maximizing hardware usage, simplifying IT management, and providing scalability for business operations.
