What is it?

Virtualization• Server virtualization is the idea of taking a physical server and, with

the help of virtualization software, partitioning the server, or dividing it up, so that it appears as several "virtual servers," each of which

can run their own copy of an operating system.

Why is Virtualization So Popular?

• Server virtualization is a big buzz word these days, particularly since it's supposed to help businesses save on IT costs. When you partition one physical server into several virtual machines, you can deploy, operate and manage multiple operating system instances at once on that single physical server. This helps reduce the number of physical servers a company must have on its premises.

• Virtualization can also help a company cut down on energy consumption, since there are fewer physical servers consuming power. That's especially important, given the trend toward green IT planning and implementation.
