Virtualization

Virtualization

Virtualization is the simulation of the software


and/or hardware upon which other software
runs. This simulated environment is called
virtual machine. Each VM can run its own
operating systems and applications as if it were
in a physical machine. So It is way to run
multiple operating systems on the same
hardware at the same time.
 For e.g., Windows and Linux both can run on the same laptop
at the same time
Virtualization Architecture
