Introduction

Virtualization, in computing, refers to the act of


creating avirtual(rather than actual) version of
something, including but not limited to a virtual
computer hardware platform,operating
system(OS),storage device, orcomputer

Server Virtualization is a technology which lets


you run multiple virtual machines on a single
physical machine with each virtual machine
sharing the resources of that one physical
computer
